I really like the colors in this photo, and the way the child stands out against the ocean.

The only thing I think I would change is cropping in a little tighter on the child. In addition, I'm not really a fan of vignetting, but that's just a personal preference.

I LOVE this picture! My favorite part of it is the reflection of the boy on the water. Awesome! And the mathematical proportions of the sky and sand are perfect. Great job!

Yeah those were the two things I wasn't completely sure on. I'm usually not much of a vignette fan myself, but I felt it worked in favor of the image, but I think I'll take your suggestion and make another copy without the vignette and with a tighter crop.

I like this shot a lot! Beautiful colors and I love his reflection in the water behind him.

I like the vignette - but I'd tone it back a bit. . .
