Golden Boy Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Another one of my sea shots (see the other one), that day we had the perfect weather. So I decided to go, again, for a stroll on the see. At this magical time every thing is colored with a goldish tone. This boy was coming out of the sea to wash himself under the hose after surfing (yeh, this young and already surfing) with his dad. I just couldn't resist the photo-opt here. Grant you this can be anywhere in the world but it wasn't, it was here and I had the pleasure to witness this golden boy.
(Richard, again a movie title :-) LOL)

Cute kid :)
i like the gold wash on the image, his colourful surfsuit gives a nice contrast.

The colors are nice. I like the shiny effect caused by the layer of water over the boy. I would like to see a less tight crop at the top (leaving some space above the head of the boy).

Haha Omri, he is SO very wet still. You took a very good picture of this guy, like you say, the light is really good, and I like very much the looks that he gave you, and that you captured so well.
pts tomorrow

what a golden boy... in the best sense...your focus is spot on! it is fascinating IMO;-) and light is just perfect... bravo for this perfect shot;-)

Very nice light you've got here, that really comes out well with the water on the boy. Good composition. I like the way we can see only one of his eyes.

Those reflect kinda remind me of my "sunset" shot of a sealion. He's so pretty and that one eye is very soothing, good shot, and thanks for going to the beach on that sunny day.

Great colors Omri friend, the expression as well as the framing are very, well excellent.

Hi Omri, a very good shot of this guy. Good colours and contrast. The DOF is Ok but it seems there's a slight lack of sharpness here. Nothing bad, nice catch anyway. Well done

i love how he has the one eye peaking out through his messy hair! he looks very mischevious...colors and depth of field are great too...
