Mega stunning. (Lensbaby I can see, but wasn't sure if the underexposure was in camera or pp or both; what I am studying on is that 1/2046 shutter speed, use of tripod, sound and chance).

Beautiful, powerful, yet has a hint of innocence. Very well done. I've got to shoot more with my LB, this reminds me why I bought one in the first place.

Very nice. I remember looking at this photo during voting, but clearly didn't leave a comment. "Lensbaby" wasn't a word that even crossed my mind, though now that you've said it I can see the effect.

What I was actually thinking about was worry for the kids. I'm sure it's one of those shots that looks worse than it really was, but every summer you hear about people getting hit by sneaker waves and being pulled out to sea. Ooo, I shake my virtual fist at those parents...

I've got two brilliant examples of high-contrast black and white with excellent rich shadows, so I give each one a yellow ribbon. Here's one for you:



Am interested to hear how you created this effect.

The kids are easy to miss. They almost blend in with the posts. When they do reveal themselves to the viewer (as kids, not posts), it's quite a nice surprise.

Great job with the composition and using the contrast and lighting to maximum effect. Just enough information is revealed. Moving from left to right, you see the children having fun, then the posts and a little more splash, then at the far right of the frame, complete shadowy, blurry chaos. Quite a range of dynamics and a nice progression.

Is this a Lensbaby?

My pick of the challenge, I think. Ten.
