    A remarkable image. Enough said!

    (No, not enough said. I can guarantee you that if I had made a shot close to this, I would have used a traditional, vertical composition that would have eliminated all the negative space. The negative space adds so much to this image, effectively telling the story of a small boy and a large ocean.)

    Thanks Greg and greetings from Tampa, Florida! My father spent time in Woomera (military base) back in the 90's, always excited to hear from down under...

    Great shot. I'm guessing this was not the same day as your daughter's picture, i.e. no dramatic sky? Also, the PP is different than your daughters. Any reason why the change from the sepia to B&W?

    Correct Bryan, the shots are on different days (same beach though). Adding sepia has largely the same effect as increasing the temperature and on this one I preferred the bluer, traditional B&W (the heart wants what the heart wants I suppose)...
