This is terrific. I love the way my eyes just go round & round in the circle of friends.

This is an absolutely amazing composition. The placement in the frame, the mood, the feel ... fantastic, pure and simple. 9

Nice geometric triangle shape around the boy covered in sand. This is a fun shot.

Well captured and presented. Very strong composition. B&W choice was brilliant.
03/15/2009 11:17:34 PM
The shot should have been cropped tighter on the kids - remove some of the dead space to the left. Just my .02 :)
03/15/2009 10:26:42 PM
very cool lines made by each boy doing his own thing but still interacting together.
03/15/2009 06:49:10 PM

Looks like they are having fun, too bad some are lost in the shadows of the harsh light.
03/15/2009 07:05:49 AM

03/15/2009 01:53:39 AM

good conversion to black and white, works well against the white sand
03/14/2009 08:43:55 PM
I hope this is a game and not a tormenting session. well photographed, in any event.
03/14/2009 07:50:43 PM

03/14/2009 01:56:42 PM
GREAT shot. The body positions are fabulous and the tonal contrast with the sand is stellar. Top 100 me thinks.
03/14/2009 10:05:19 AM
You've done well with the difficult lighting
03/14/2009 09:48:33 AM

03/14/2009 03:17:32 AM
They seems to have a lot of fun. This almost looks like a geometrical shape with the boys and the shadows.

I love it! So much!

Looks like a lot of fun. I love the exposure on the left-most boy's skin.
03/11/2009 08:51:59 PM
Very emotive and certainly makes you think and consider the differences in cultures.
