Thank you Lisa, Candice, Darryl, Toni, Shelly & Bobbie for your wonderful comments.

Toni...yes this was taken at a beach area. The original image is on page 6 of my gallery. When I had taken the image I overexposed the background(water) a bunch & as you can see in the original image it came out with a completely white background. I really liked how it came out. Though I am re-entering it & with just a different comp. Thanks!!

Hi Alisha - Visited your gallery and I love your portrait work!! I could not resist remarking on this image, though. What a shot! I just love the composition. So incredibly simple (It's a "Why in the world didn't I think of that??") yet very dynamic and "it works!" Totally deserves that little silver oval and I Hope it goes on to Win Big!! Very nice #2491922
