 I took my kids down to Sunset Beach to catch the sunset after dinner... and to get some shots of 'simple pleasures.'

This is kid #3, Alexander, he has the most energy of all four kids, so to actually catch him in this pose is RARE :)

Adjusted brightness/contrast and the size.

Hope everyone enjoys this pictures as much as I do.

Critique Club Review:

Very nice picture.

Color, saturation, hue, lighting, brightness, contrast, focus, depth of field are all very good.

There is only one thing I see here, and that is that the setting sun unintentionallly becomes a subject.

You've positioned your son following the rules of thirds. However, your son's gaze, and the reflection on the water, take us straight to the sun. Unfortunately the reflection is right up the middle, and the sun close to it. Positioning your son further to the left so that he was in one third, and the sun in the other, might have helped.

As is, I really enjoyed this picture, and it really speaks to the feeling of the moment.
