Wow thanks for all the great comments they are very appreciated. I love this photo of my son, I was shooting something else and he was just messing about, I saw this and had to run to get the light in the right place before he moved. That it did so well here is a wonderful added bonus.

This is beautiful. I love the dark and crisp silhouette against the spotlight in the water. What a lovely scene!

Very cool image! Awesome job of working with natural light. The centered subject works so well here, my eye is immediately drawn to the boy and held there. Very nice shot!

I really like this photo, the composition in the middle works here. great the tones, a bit over exposed in the top side but only a bit.

A lovely take on the challenge that hits every element perfectly. A haunting and ethereal shot. Love the centred composition with the reflected light spreading directly behind the child
