 This is the man who built the house where we spent our honeymoon - and his daughter. How long do you have to look before you realise that she's in mid-air?

I just caught up with this; what a pathetically low score for a borderline sublime image :-( Into my faves it goes...

OOO GREAT shot! Would love to know "their" story, which is what a good picture needs to do, make you want to figure it out! Wish there wasn't that tiny bit of blur on them but overall great work!

Nice capture. I think I would like it more if it were less centered and landscape orientation with them running into the frame from the right side. I am not sure if you have more that you cropped out, you could try it that way. It still tells a story as is, which is good.

Very nice. Has you wondering why they are down there running in the surf with those expensive instruments! Lovely sense of movement. Love the black and white.

Very good! Could be a scene from an old french movie...

Huh? Interesting landscape, but what kind of place is this for violins?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I would have cropped this down to right under the first stretch of sand from the top to properly highlight your subjects, and the "Z" shape that the water then forms adds to that focus IMO.

love this. Think I might have preferred a landscape crop but this works and this is what I see. There is a whimsicalness about this that I love and I could study it for a while to try and see why they are running, why they are there, why they have violins but then I must think, Why not? Thank you for this excellent moment, one of my favorites of the challenge. 10 - good luck!

Very cool. I really like the composition here. I like how there are the different lines of 'textures'. Nice shot.
