[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Moana is the maori name for the sea, and it's also the name of this little girl standing protected by her Dad at the edge of the sea.
NZ is a land surrounded by the ocean and so we tend to encourage our children to learn to swim and have confidence in the water, starting at an early age.

This was taken at Tawharanui, a national park run by the Department of Conservation. It is a popular place for camping and surfing.

Excellent detail from the beach and shown with a fine handling of dark and bright. Not so sure about the guy on the far left. Tryed covering him but I canīt make up my mind.

Hi Karen,
Nice one. I like the story this photo is saying to me. Nice frame as well.

Th baby had a dry suit like her dad?? :) I love the composition. B&W was a very good idea on this photo. Well done!

Hi Karen,
The shot is ideal technically although I'm not sure it should be placed into TE collection, may be TL is more appropriate place. Anyway the composition and the choice of b&w are great. TFS.
Regards,
Denis

Love this shot, technically correct, light handled well, nice VP. I think the surfers in the background add to the story. (No dead fish in this picture)?

Cheers, Karey.

Hi Doris, Excelent composition. I like the way you position and crop off the daddy to let the viewers focus on the little girl. Well done! Regards, Jino.
