I love this in black and white, all the negative space is fun.

Nicely minimal with no other marks in the sand to distract. The bold angular lettering on the towel also contrasts well with the girl.

What an amazing shot... such great composition, so simple yet powerful, no part of the frame is lost yet all conspires to bring attention to the subject. And the subject gives as a glimpse of life that is so hard to get, but so amazing when captured like this. This shot belongs in any photography book that I've ever seen. Going straight to favs.

Excellent capture. She pulls me in - I want to know what she's thinking about.

I like the footprints ,, wish you had included more, The right portion is too high contrast for my taste, 6

Nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

You have captured the feeling of loneliness very well. I also like the high contrast bw.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Reminds me of my daughter - all wrapped up in a towel, and intent on what she is doing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 11:04:44 AM
Really like the composition you chose to use for this shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Love the footprints, very nice shot. Would have liked a little more head room--seems a little squished at the top.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 10:22:03 AM
Great use of B&W
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 09:19:51 AM
Nice contrasts in B&W.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Is the heart-shaped footprint the hidden gem?

It's a lovely capture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 02:03:02 AM
This does give the impression of being all alone. Makes me wonder what she is thinking. It's one of those good shots that probably just does not have enough wow factor to score highly here, which is a shame. If this is your own kid, this is certainly one that would be great to have on your wall.

Simple yet powerful. LOVE that extra footprint top left, and the gradient light on the sand. The towel is a very strong graphic, and the trench in the sand adds a raw element.

Gives a sense of being alone.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:29:58 PM
Very emotive, nicely done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

toning adds to the image
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 12:25:10 PM
like the tones...focus is off just a touch
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 02:49:26 AM
indeed has a lonesome feel to it. good b/w conversion. her head looks slightly blurred
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:11:28 AM
One of the things I like about this is that I can't read what's written on the towel. Adds mystery.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:19:52 PM
I like the footprints left... and the open sand before...

good mood image
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 06:13:44 PM
Very nice composition, and your tonal conversion adds a terrific moodiness to the image. Well done.

Nothing spectacular but good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:25:38 PM
Nice shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:54:03 AM
This is nice but I would have preferred to see more of the footprints she has left behind and virgin sand in front of her
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 06:50:14 AM
I like the solitude of this shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 02:42:12 AM
A lovely isolated subject and a very clean image. I wish her face was as sharp as the towel.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:49:14 PM
This shot eludes to a possible story but doesn't explain anything. There is potential here but it just didn't make it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 07:00:53 PM
Well done - wish the focus was a little better
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 04:35:59 PM
nice pic...

Nice B&W. Definitely sets a mood.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 02:04:18 PM
Nice black and white, it really draws out the letters.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 01:32:55 PM
Very nice idea. The moved sand takes out a few point. It would of been perfect with only a few foot steps behind the girl.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 12:55:26 PM
great composition, i really like this
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:07:33 AM
Good framing and detail in the sand.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:24:00 AM
Aww she looks unhappy. Love the footprints and the feel of the picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:49:21 AM
I like how the sand around her us undisturbed with the exception of the sand she's touched, good choice for B&W
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 02:25:29 AM
Lovely shot, and b&w suits it well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like your use of negative space in this photo.
