I think this shot would be improved if the composition allowed for the entire shadow to be seen at the bottom of the frame.

Think the face could have been more in focus. The lighting's unusual.

great colours but the head of the dragon fly seems to be just a little out of focus.

Nice idea, wish for a complete shadow, and more saturation might help.

Boys and Kites

The world looks folded in three,
sky on water on white sand.
In the crease run little boys
away from their laughing kites,
the brilliant colors stretched
on a geometric frame.

Capable of flight, prone
to crashes, they are
hard on themselves, rigid, yet
they fall so bravely,
headlong into shore.

A boy running with a frail string
gripped in both hands
knows unhappiness,
feels it bouncing just behind.
