Michael, Very cool! I like the composition and the effect. I do see a few repeats in the bottom half that I might take care of. Love the shadow and the expression of the little one!
That is a cute one, and like the run away pose, Michael. B&W works well, and the long shadow really adds interest to composition as does the texture in FG & BG.
Thanks much for commenting. Hadn't really thought much about using DAP for B&W before. Thanks much to the theme concept.
Denise, Andrew, Not sure what repeating elements you mean. The lines on the lower right are from the wind ripple pattern in the sand... unless you mean something else?
