[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Summer arrived officially here at 7:59PM last night. I wanted to take some shots commemorating the longest day of the year. I spotted this young lad scooting up the beach with his father up ahead of him. He would pause, scoop up the odd stone and throw it in the ocean. You could tell he did not have a care in the world. It reminded me very much of when I was his age and how carefree I was as a child. I hope this capture conveys those thoughts.

Hi Francis,
Nice thoughts in your note, too. Really expressive and artistic photo, it suggests freedom and hapiness. Thanks for posting.

Bonjour Francis,
Le sépia est un très bon choix ici et donne un petit côté nostalgique au cliché. Mes compliments.
Amicalement.

Pascalie.

Hi Francis, I find the subject interesting and well placed but the technical aspect bothers me. It appears oversharpened and waffly, perhaps some camera shake. TFS
