Chasing the Tide

This little boy was so cute playing along the shoreline in Long Beach last weekend.  He was scared of the tide line, but kept approaching and then racing away as each little wave moved up the shore.  I really wish I didn't compose this shot with him leaving the frame like that, but I just don't have a photojournalist sensibility; so I had framed him in exactly the right spot to not move, but I wasn't prepared for him to run back up the beach.  Why?  Lack of experience photographing people, I suppose.  Anyway, such a terrific reflection in the Washington sand as the tide recedes!

    That is the perfect angle for this reflection : it looks like the blury effect of some quantic disappearance, very enigmatic : I love it.

    Great reflection! It looks like he is running on the edge of the surf.

    Very interesting, I didn't guess it was a reflection, rather it speaks of me of his energy, running, being part of nature.

    Wonderful reflection. It's like life, it zooms by quicker then we think.
