My First Ocean

This little kidlet from the midwest had never seen the ocean before, and was overjoyed to be somewhere warm and NOT snowed in.
Very nice family we talked to for awhile, who intended to use this image for their annual Holiday card…

I’m surprised there are no comments about this excellent image. Everything about it is wonderful-the expression, pose, colors, lighting, the wave and the composition. The family is fortunate to have this image which will make make an outstanding Holiday card.

Like it, Sandy ! Especially the silhouette effect and, of course, the capture of that delightful pose.

Very well done, Sandy. An excellent image.

Fine work, Sandy. I love the tentative step of the child.:smile:

Jim, the non-nature category has been relegated to obscurity and the EP’s don’t even rate being shown in the EP Gallery. Most people don’t even look for the non-nature images.
Glad a few did!

A fine Cartier Bresson moment capture.
