people Tide Pools

Very nice. I would like to see another with the same height in landscape with an expanse off in the direction the child is looking

Sadly, this shot is about as expansive as it gets.  I don't have any wider shots; however, you're right, that would make a great photo.  Thanks for comment.

I agree with the previous comment about a landscape frame, as this one is a bit pressed and narrow for this kind of subject ( on all 4 sides,  especially the upper and lower sides). That said , the timing is good ,and  it is well executed ( exposed) with the reflection of the child in the water.

Devon, we never stop learning....The day we think we know everything, it is better to leave our camera in  the closet....( I have already wrote it somewhere at PN.)

Here's the original without crop. Not sure it gives enough room on the left.

I tried to play with  what there is .I have cut the upper side (which is less important but left enough space) and  the RHS so the child is not in the middle(center) and have some more space on the LHS. did not touch the lower part .What do you think?

Thanks for your thoughts.  Yeah, I got hung up on the symmetry of the reflection and didn't think about where the child was looking.  I had actually cropped like this at one point in development (Lightroom virtual copy).  I'll take another look at it with your comments in mind!  Thanks again!

Thankyou for your visit to my portfolio Devon...as it brought me here to yet some more shots I have not seen.  I think I'll enjoy exploring your portfolio.  This shot is great.  Nicely composed and the curious young little mani delightful.  His reflection in the water is exceptional.  Nice work!  Sincerely, Gail

Nice shot Devon, thanks for a visit !
