Default Candid snapshot
This is a spontaneous photo taken of a little boy I saw on the beach at a lake. I'm pretty happy with how it came out, but I'm interested to see what others think - any feedback would be great!



Taken with a Sony Alpha NEX-3
18-55mm 3.5-5.6 lens

Sorry about that - I thought I had attached it, but I just added an HTML version so it should work now.

Its a well exposed and coloured photo.

Something fundamental I think is applicable here: the back of a person is not frightfully thrilling to watch unless something related to the person or something taking up their attention is not apparent...

Like any other feedback I'd give, this is not a rule...so it can be altered in your composition. But not unless there's a very strong element complementing the back..in this case, the water is too neutral. Also, I'd take care to remove(crop) the shrubs in the water (camera left) unless it was boldly present and acting as a conscious element

I think it's lovely. He's obviously fixed on what he's doing, besides bottomless
