A lovely moment between a mother and child! I love her expression.

I'm curious as to why you chose to include so much of the beach when all the interest is with the people.

IMO I'd crop this way tighter and make this more about the human connection vs. where they are. If you're going to include more beach I'd suggest cleaning up some of the dirty bits (seaweed?).

I'd also like to see some more brought out from the shadows, especially around the woman's face. Since it's a bright, sunny beach capture it would also be nice to see more pop in play.

My $0.02 below.

Superb capture of a moment in time.

I think the OP provides a scale between the size of the child, the mother and the expanse of the world in an increasing manner of exponential relationship. The fact that the smallest (child) is gazing into the largest (world), and the mother is racing him in the opposite direction from the dangers he gazes upon ... keeping him close to her speaks to the heart of a mother to protect the love of her life.

The fun, frolic in the surf keeps the mood very light and the unmistakable joy on the mothers face is iconic. The technical attention to detail with the framing and her shadow parallel to the frame, couple well with the asymetrical mass of the sea and the sand, and the direction of her travel.

Much to like ... much to like ... much to like. Did I mention that there's much to like.

Welcome to the PC Forum, this is a keeper for the ages. 100 or 1,000 years from now, this one will tell the story of mother, child and the world.

Imo, this is an iconic image.





Would be curious to see it in monochrome, also.

Biggest nit ... not a fan of the three layer framing.

Sweet and joyful image. I like it as it is giving contest and scale to the image. Not much to say. My only suggestion would be to lighten the mama's face a bit. Great catch!

Thank you it was just what I wanted to express with this photo and you described my thoughts exactly ... then yes there would certainly be a bit of lightening the face by opening a bit of light on it but the light was strong and the color of the skin a sincere greeting Stefano helped little in the exhibition

This is a nice moment, but I would have also liked to see the child’s face.

I call these kinds of photos “in-between photos”, because they are not about one subject. To make this truly about the lady and child you need to crop away most of the beach. To make it about the beach with the lady and child as focal points the lady and child need to be much smaller. The image would then send a clear message.

a beautiful and joyous capture!
formatting is a bit wide but I like it.
I think a hair more at the bottom would make her foot feel more fully planted and move the shadow up a bit. It appears cramped.

Monochrome would probably work but I would expect some of the joy might be dampened down (if that is possible)

Superb!!

I I thought I followed the gaze where he looks at the face that is in the space on the left leaving ample space of freedom and air then and everything related to the interpretation of each of us and all criticisms are welcome ... I cannot clean algae because I want see what I saw in that context that is in Zanzibar
