In the Water

Posted by Mandy Provan (Johannesburg, South Africa) on 29 January 2008 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

I loved the patterns the water was forming on his little chest as he was emerging from the water.

I agree! This is a beautiful photo. Not only the surroundings, but the look of joy too. :)

Thanks for the compliment. :) It's a friend tracing the outline of his body with a glowstick.

This just exhudes happiness! Lovely capture, then, and thoughtfully composed/cropped, too. Excellent exposure in what looks like quite difficult light to deal with.

Kiddies having fun are always great shots. This is super joyful, Mandy.

ya i was about to say that dear,love the movement of water caught on his body and the water around him,and that childlike joy and pleasure so explicitly written on his sweet face...thanks so much for coming by and your kind words dear,i think kids nowadays are laden with so much stress,i have seen kindergarten kids memorising their spelling and going for tests..gosh,at only a tender age of 4 or 5...where are the days when they can just play and have fun?After all they have a whole 2 decades to study...sigh.

Such a wonderfully happy little boy! Great photo of him even without the water patterns - they are a bonus too! Lovely photo! :-)

Cute. Nice freeze action shot; his tan line from t-shirt wearing (on his arms) is also a bit of extra interest.
