Water Fun

Posted under Color, Critiqued, Portrait

Water FunPhotos of friends and family are the ones we will look at years from now and remember with fondness.  They document our lives and give us a history of joy and regrets.  They the first thing we will take if our homes are threatened by fire of flood and yet they are of no value to the rest of the world.

The photographer has done a nice job of isolating the subject by eliminating the unnecessarily background.  The foaming water tells the the story of a day in the pool at the age of seven (?) when the best thing in the world on a summer day is to be in the water.  The expression on his face is natural and full of the joy of the day.  I like the nice soft light with natural flesh tones.

This photographer has not made the common mistake of placing the face of the subject squarely in the center of the composition.  The photo-artist might experiment with moving the boy even further off center.
