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!

Fabulous candid capture with great b&w tones, Michelle. #10246464Eivor Kuchta July 27, 2012
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! #10246495Kirsten Kiki Kjaer July 27, 2012
105! WOW that IS hot, Michelle.John Connolly July 27, 2012

Fantastic comp, Michelle; great eye to catch this one! #10247183frank w. degenhardt July 27, 2012
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. #10247210Paul E.
