It\'s funny how in this early age children are so different already in their perceptions and attitude for life :)
For me it\'s not just something good, but greate, how they explore the world.

My favorite from your portfolio thus far. It's wonderful how the children get their own corner in the frame. Being Basic I know you couldn't have cloned out the bike section there. I like the slight yellow cast adds a nice character to the shot, but the sand just appears slightly overly bright. I wouldn't mind seeing a version where you apply any PP you want to the shot, and just post it it on imageshack(create a free account). You can then post the link here if you want. If you need any help with that, you can PM or as some folks do post a resized original in the forum and let people have a go at it, see which one you like best and try to get that result yourself :)

Tnx for your comments, Send was not orignally so yellow, it was more kind of rose, to leave it like this was not interesting to me, though may be I should not make such strong contast which brings saturation.
About the weel of bicycle - I should eliminate it somehow.
About the content I'm 100% sure, You can read in description above. For me is not just good it's greate to see children discover and learn about life in sand-box.
Ops, the title should be "Sea of sand".

Interesting composition which breaks a lot of rules, I guess. You'd think one child should be in the lower riht corner, but he's moved to the top right.

A little over saturated and/or over brightened.

Yellow cast? Kids are kinda scattered about without a particular focus, actually all of them are looking out of the picture which tends to leave a bit empty area in the middle making me wonder why shoud I look here? Sorry, only a 4. Jack

I love the subject - content is great. Technically, the blown-out highlights really take away from this shot; contrast too high perhaps?

sand is very over exposed ... composition is not very strong (IMHO)

Very interesting composition. Sand looks yellow; is that the real color?

I like the composition quite a lot, the kids playing by themselves and in pairs at the corners of the image. The biggest problem with the image is the colors look a bit oversaturated and yellow. A smaller problem is the bicycle (or whatever it is) in the corner. Maybe you could have taken a step closer to the girl, to be able to crop out the bike.

I like the composition, seems a bit heavy on the yellow tones

The colors are too yellow. Maybe it was an attempt at artistry. Dunno. I just know the color is not working for me.

I like the three groups of kids, but I would have left a little more space around the edges, especially on the lower left child.
