kids at the beach

Went to the beach last week! Got two days of shooting in before my brand new 50mm randomly stopped autofocusing

1) This one is probably my favorite shot from the trip

2)

these last three were taken in full (12:00) sun
3)

In these two I really tried to make use of the 'leading lines'

c&c welcome; thanks for looking (sorry such a large share)

Adorable kids! And YES, the first shot of the little one with the wind-blown hair---zOMG...how cute is that! And that open-mouth expression of wonderment and joy! Now THOSE are the kind of childhood memories you need to print out and keep around and show to the kids as they get older.

Yup. Kids at the beach offer a wide variety of photo opportunities don't they. Good work. First one is the best. Although the rest could have had a bit of a darker background; looks a bit washed out. But, generally, pretty good !

#1...could be a postcard or novelty card. Contact Hallmark, I see a big future for that one!

#4, cute picture, fix the horizon unless you were very close to where the world ends and the ocean was beginning to tilt.

I do like this shot! Now I am not trying to be mean, but the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this was the plastic TROLL dolls from the 1960's and 70's.... don't know if you are old enough to remember them or not! Big fad.. and really cute!
