This image is a milestone for me. Of the thousands of images I've taken in the two years since I started learning photography, this is the first time an image is EXACTLY what I wanted. In my eyes, this is the best photograph I have ever taken and I am very happy with it. Now if I can only do it again!!


Exposure time: 1/640 F-stop: 8.0

I can see why you are so happy with this photograph Dale! It shows the simple joy of the two kids on what looks like a beach all to themselves! Beautiful use of effects also! Nice work!

  Thanks Sheryl. They were having so much fun it only seemed right that the beach should be all theirs to enjoy alone. Dale

  Wonderful! I love everything about this as well. I still don't think I have "taken" my favourite picture yet, but understand totally why this is yours!

  I have yet to find one of those images Dale I'm very happy for you! This is wonderful. Love the happy feel to this shot....makes me feel like a kid again myself! The effect worked very well also to add to that feeling!

  Thanks so much Joan and Aimee. The original image I liked also without the effect. The only reason I used it was because of the atmosphere today about taking images of children that aren't yours, so I wanted to disguise their faces. I actually like the unprocessed image better. Dale
