Nice! No. 2 is the winner for me.

In #1 kids playing in the surf and the story is clear and obvious. Kids having fun at sunset but not much else to be told in that photo. But #2 has drama and is somewhat mysterious. There is a juxtaposition of a small boy against a vast ocean. It makes you wonder why he is there all alone. Where did everyone go? Is he lost? An orphan perhaps? This is the type of photo that could be used in an ad to encourage adoption or to convey some other message like that. Also, his reflection in the sand is a plus. #2 is a cool photo.

Each has its own plusses -- #1's sky is ephemeral, with that cool blue sky and glowing clouds. #2 has a sizzling sun as it sinks into the waves, and as Konablue said, the solitary figure adds a feeling of loneliness. The dark area along the bottom of the frame in #2 is a bit distracting, for me, Ian.

Thanks for all the feedback. I like #2 as well but (and esp in response to Konablue) I do feel that happiness should be photographed. It's easy to make a picture out of loneliness and sadness. Too few people (outside weddings maybe) shoot happiness.

Here's another happy one ....

I think 2 displays magic and drama more than loneliness and sadness.
