A little boy in Houtbay, feeding his leftover chips to the seagulls.
I especialy like the look on his face.

I hope you enjoy this.
Ben.

excellent shot, i like it so much, the moment is the perfecta and the b/W is great for this job

and those fingers ! He wants to give the leftovers but is scared to do so. Brilliant capture, great to do it in black and white.

Hi Ben,

Superb snapshot. All is perfect except a too large DOF. The background is as sharp as the little boy...
Well seen anyway.

This is a marvelous moment! Even his toes express his awe. It is great how you kept the seagulls sharp also.

Hi Ben
i agree with you: the look on his face is amazing, it says it all.
Great bw tones, the compo is excellent and, again, the expression on his face (hihihi...) mix of fear, surprise and disgust.. Barefoot feeding seaguls, it's great to be a child..

Thank you so much for this one

Hi Ben,
I picture these birds clutching this little guy's shirt and carrying him off! Great expression you have caught on his face, and the B&W treatment keeps the focus on the subject(s). Ouch! Where are his shoes?
All the best,
Karen
P.S. You have a very cool bio photo--one of the best I've seen.

great shot...nothing to say

Very adorable face! I love the black and white. great sharpness
well done,
Shelby

Wow! What a fantastic freeze of the moment. So much said in this one capture. Life and all that's in it. Truly priceless. Black and white adds so much nostalgia. Well done.
