Building sand castles

    I don’t know if this is the section for this, I’ll get it moved if it’s not. I was walking my dog down on the beach and spotted a little girl building sand castles with a pringles can. I asked the lady with her if I could take some photos of them and she said it was okay. I would have been too shy to ask a few months ago and would have not taken the shot. I’m happy that I asked now, although I should have asked If she would like me to email the pictures to her. Oh well, you live and you learn. Enough of my ramblings, here are the photos.

    All C&C’s welcome.

    Hi Johny
    I am very new to photography so I’am not sure if my comments are of much worth.
    Personal I don’t think these images work, for me there just lacking something may
    be If you moved closer and brought the camera nearer to the ground and try to find
    a more interesting background. I am sure there is a great picture there.
    I do really admire your guts for asking to take the picture, as this is a part of photography
    I still struggle with… :D

    Regards Gus

    I agree. The composition of the shots are not great. A lower viewpoint would certainly improve these also you would need to get in closer. This would help to throw the background out of focus & would concentrate the viewers attention on the subject. Well done on overcoming what I believe to be the most difficult area of people photography, asking if they mind being photographed. (but may be wrong :lol: ). Well done

    Cheers for the comments and advice, Gus and Miki. Will keep the angle in mind in future.
