Hey didn't I see you in a movie! I'm starting to think my monitor is a bit fuzzy cause this is the third picture I see that I think needs some focus.

Cool idea - tips of fiungers aren't quite sharp enough.

OK, I confess, I was taking photos of the powerboat races this day, and happened to catch this kids just messing around on the beach before one of the races was due to start - I can't remember what he was doing during this particular shot, and I don't think he ever noticed the camera being pointed in his direction. The fact that you can't be quite sure what's happening I hoped would make the image a bit more intriguing, which is why I went with this particular one.

The final shot was cropped quite a lot to get the boats, buoys, and the pier out of sight, leaving just the bands of colour, which is also why I chose portrait. The shot was very grey (typical British summer ;o), so I used the 'enchance' auto-levels thingy of my graphics software to bring out the colours of the sea. As for the focus, I couldn't do much about that, as I was trying to shield my eyes & the lens from the sand being blown straight at me at the time...

Thanks for all the comments!
