Walk Along The Beach

Comment by adine:
Nice idea - two foot prints isn't enough to show a walk - add the third an the meaning is clear! I like the light and texture - I wonder if a diagonal composition would be more interesting?

Nice idea, you could have included the ocean and a bit of sky to give a sense of place.

I appreciate all of the comments thus far - I am counting on you to point me in the right directions re: my photography - Thanks much

Yes Zoomdak - the off balance was intentional
Yes I admit - the focus is a bit soft

Glen King - this kid is a basketball player (freshman team) ball was not his choice but mine

Dave Gordon - thanks Dave - that was my intent exactly

Miss Mouse - thanks for pointing that out - the reflection

Moodville - yes Moodville that was my intention - Thanks for your thoughtful critique

I find it interesting that it's not level. Adds good perspective, but also makes it seem off balence. Nice capture, cool pose.

The red contrasts nicely with the rest of the picture, but everything looks slightly out of focus, and the tilt to me doesn't really help the shot.

Comment by Glen King:
I like your color selection. My question is only, wouldn't you expect a kid this age to be playing with a basketball instead? Nicely done though.

The tilt should have been removed.

Comment by Dave Gordon:
I like the use of black and white with a spot of color - it really emphasizes the ball and somehow makes the black-and-white even more so by contrast.
