I spent about a hour waiting for the sun to set. I loved that these two kids...only one ended up in this shot...and their father were sitting down by the boat ramp fishing right in perfect position for their sillouete. I proubably took 100 pictures of them and maybe just10 of the actual sunset. I was loving it all the while. Don't we all wish we could be as carefree as this little boy.

Hey I would say nice. But Lets all get real here. This is a cover shot for an out door living, to introduction for a feature story i that would run wide as the main shot. This is a perfect illustration shot, this tells a story, ti's not a skate board, shot or a,"hey that's cool brainless shot that depicts someone wondering what their camera can do. When you start hitting this mark you are ready to go out and start shooting for a company. Keep this up less kids now unless it is equal to this cover shot. You might not get published here on JPG but you got something much better out of it. Your skill level has jumped to what is required to do real work somewhere. else. Even a local News paper should hire you. Great job on the shot it should and can go to print for many publications and get a few awards if you think you need it.

A gorgeous photograph in all respects, a ”tells a story“ photograph, let's get this out of the way. I don't always know what I'm doing (I'm more a 'shoot from the heart' kinda guy), but I can sure tell someone who does... And Donna's also helped me realize a crucial ingredient of photography, something seldom realized even when practiced. Pacience. Pacience to wait for the shot your mind's eye anticipated, to stand your ground 'n squeeze that shutter gently & wihtout haste.
I'm going to try 'n remember that.
