The Joy of Youth Photo

Photographer’s Note

Here is another picture from Melbourne Beach. In this one a young girl is playing another water game, run from the wave. The boy's shirt shows that one does not always win! In fact, they fell quite often ; )

I like the girl's reflection, and how she is looking over her shoulder to see who's winning. It was a such a fun day!

I cropped and sharpened this picture. What do you think?

Very nice picture John, I like the acyion pic and the story to go along with it, well done.

The focus is really well done with the forever moving waves of the sea.

This picture really captures the feelings of your daughter, being chased by waves.

Très belle réalisation et bon cadrage. Le regard de votre fille tourné vers la vague exprime parfaitement la crainte d'être mouillée et en même temps on sent une joie certaine.
Très bien John.
Very beautiful realization and good framing. The glance of your daughter turned towards the wave expresses fear perfectly to be wet and at the same time an unquestionable joy is felt. Very well John.

This is a great action shot, John. It really looks as if the wave will engulf your daughter. I love the way you have clearly captured the water droplets suspended in mid-air. Well done.

A very playful picture. It really brings a smile to your face. You can feel the fun just by looking at it. Good shot. I like the reflection as well. I wonder if you got a photo of them falling down? That would be funny to see as well.
