This picture is almost perfectly composed. Its overall proportions, about 1.48 over 1, suggest that it was cropped slightly from a 3/2 image. The line dividing negative and positive space, so stark here, creates roughly the same proportion, about a 6/4 split. The only other line suggested in the image, the diagonal running down from the dune grasses, along the pails, joining the two girls, etc, divides the image roughly in the same proportion and that line is suggested by several other major elements in the picture, such as the tilt of her head and the p osition of her feet. So along with the image's gorgeous colors and its evocation of childhood and partenhood and summer and joy, there is a mathematical harmony underlying the whole thing. It's a great photograph.

Same set of photos, same photographer:

Thanks for selecting my images to comment on.

Nice work Raid--

Nice work Raid--

Bet the kids have been growing like weeds-- looks as if they have you wrapped around their little fingers-- way too cute, great pose and catch on your part.

Love the whole style, and agree with the long analysis and review-- guy must be a teacher-- wish I had one like him back in the day?

Thank you John. Yes, our girls are growing up fast. They already are discussing which college they want to go to next (in a few years).
