Child Photo Competition 2014 No 4 : Entry Number 79

When I looked at this photo for the first time I stopped and looked at it for quite a long time. She looks at the observer of this picture in a special way. It transfers you right into the scene of this image. It seems that we are almost able to smell the sea...

I photographed my daughter in late March this year at Bondi Beach.She wanted to practise her handstands on the sand.I was taking some photographs of the beautiful light on her skin, and wanted just one more and that was her expression, she just wanted to go home(I think she was disappointed with her handstands ).She has been my principle muse and saviour at getting back to photography after a long hiatus child rearing. ISO 100, f12 at 1/60 of a sec.Leica X1 at 5:15 pm.
