A Dip in the Ocean - C&C please

[thosewhotell]

A shot from a recent family holiday. My son trying to brave the sea... just staring trying to work out if he wanted to come back with something less on.

Basically trying to go for a small sense of exploration, but I also think it works when considering something so small and fragile up against something so vast.

I kind of wish the headland was not visible, but overall I am quite pleased with this shot. Please feel free to comment.

Cute shot; a levelling and slight brightening/exposure increase would benefit it greatly.

I don't feel the sense of "small and fragile against vast and powerful" particularly here, but there is a good sense of that "little kid checks out this new thing" vibe.

For the former, you'd want a lot more ocean, and I think a view rotated to look more out to sea would be more powerful, to convey the size of the thing. Then pull back to reduce the size of the child quite a bit. That's my take on it, anyways.
