Living on the coast, much of my childhood was spent at the beach where we could run and dig and play without the confines of fences or rules. Exploring rock pools and building sandcastles lasted through summer and in winter you just wore warmer clothes. This little chap was meeting sand for the first time and was soon knocking down sandcastles like a pro...
The epitome of childhood...sandcastles on the beach...great shot
ReplyDeleteA beautiful depiction of rhe theme.
ReplyDeleteThis picture makes me laugh--the angle and the crop make it look like the toddler is a giant about to wreak havoc on a world.
ReplyDeleteNice composition.....gotta love that little sandy hand!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you composed this image to show the joy of childhood play.
ReplyDeleteHi Iris, smashing portrait.
ReplyDeleteLove how you've cropped this and made is hand the centre point.
ReplyDeleteNo cropping involved - that's just a low angle and a nice close shot. I liked the way the baby isn't the image, it's all about the sandcastles and imminent destruction...
ReplyDeleteI love this! A really fine perspective and all around feel. Brave too to get your camera so low to the sand.
ReplyDeletelovely photo, and just having lost my little lumix with one brief gust of wind I am with Ellen364
ReplyDeleteI feel for you! I have a little lumix too and love it to bits - I took this photo with it.
DeleteSplendid snippet from a child's life, love the added texture with all the sand on the hand!
ReplyDeleteI also lost my camera at the beach. Running across a jetty and slipped. :) I agree with everybody...this is cool in the Godzilla about to crumple Tokyo feel that it gives, and I love the composition and timing of the capture.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, the little hand is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful composition of a darling subject!
