I was sitting on the beach in Grenada watching this family play in the ocean. Suddenly, this boy leapt out of the water, flung himself on the sand, and just sat and watched the others. He was so still and quiet, I wondered what made him leave the group and what he was thinking.

Excellent story telling photo - I love the light on the curve of his back and his intent body language as he leans forward to watch. Excellent candid, in-the-moment capture, Rona! #9325702
