Nice one ! Although I feel that you can zero in more on the action by cropping off a little of the foregrund as well as the left side of the image. This way, the people figures would be larger in the frame thereby supporting your theme even more. But that's just my opinion. TFS and have a nice week !

Hi Michael,

Very nice shot!
It reminds us of our childhood (maybe). I like the POV and the colours here! Very sharp in its details!
Well done!

Everything is so thin here; I think it is your low capture; objects far away and in nice lines and silhouettes.
Great capture Michael

Wonderful POV Michael. Good clear colours and lines and the stoney beach is a delight. TFS,
