deep in thought

Jon

my son came out me with last weekend and humoured me while I took pictures of muddy boats,
he was actually great company and I caught him here deep in thought.

I think it makes a great picture I like how you can see the details in the foreground with the clouds being subtle. Very nice work!

Hey Beach, nice to meet one of your family. You have really caught the mood of thought and the black and whity really helps to do that. Great texture in the rocks and wal. Just love that sky and the composition of this photograph is so good. You did an excellent job Beach. Your talent has no bounds buddy.

Jake.

Its hard to catch a mood in a shot and you have in this its wonderful, as I have said before in some of my posts about your shots you seem to make a simple shot so magical. Well done mate thanks for sharing.

the rocks, the wall and the sky all make a great B&W all on thier own.
The fact your son was with you while you were out and you captured him in the scene makes it all the better..

Excellent message Beach, like an album cover .. love the contrast, just a great photo.

I wonder if there was any talk about your son taking up photography, he should at least have a P&S in his hand, he's missing opportunities to learn from someone really good at it !!

Vin

it also reminds me of an album cover - I am thinking James Blunt - dunno why - and the Song "Goodby My Lover" Well captured!
