The watcher (View larger please)

Only one from about a dozen. The others all left, but he stayed behind.

Thanks for your thoughts and critiques

Great exposure - the colors are vibrant without looking over saturated. 6/6

thanks Kent, that scene is very close to what I remember it being like.

if i may...

Nice shot!

A really good composition with lovely colors.

And, the sea looks like a sea (how very unusual lately)!

The watcher's position is critical and it invites the viewer to join the viewing pleasure.

By the way, I liked Rajat's cropped version also. However, it looks like "another" photograph rather than just a crop of this!

Isn't that strange?

Rajat, Dr. Baev and Bulent.. thank you for dropping in and the comments. I agree that Rajat's rendition looks like a different pic.. I quite like it too, and it does bring the kid into perspective a bit more. I think initially I was more fascinated with the colors of the rocks and the background blues. I might have to play with it a bit more :-)
