Forest for the LEGS?

Uploaded: July 27, 2012 01:51:50

Description


---
It was 105F on the beach at Belmar, NJ for the Annual Sand Castle competition. Downright OPPRESSIVE!!!
----
This little boy was cooling off (sort of--because it felt like old bath water) at the water's edge, among a veritable FOREST of LEGS!
------
I have to leave in less than an hour for the NJ Festival of Ballooning. Will catch up tonight!

Love this one. The boy is so focused on what he's doing. We're getting a glimpse of his world, separate from the adults, on another level, both mentally and physically. So nice he's in the shade (provided by mom?) and you were able to get nice tones in the image. Looks great in B&W! #10246495

105! WOW that IS hot, Michelle.
But the right place to be then must be the beach.
This is so well seen. A charming and unique image for sure.

You have come up with a most beautiful treatment for your picture here and wish I could duplicate it. I love that look, the black and white. Very creative in your presentation, that pov and composition, showing the legs and that little boy playing in the sand. An award winning look in every way my friend. #10247210
