Judges Comment

We like the repetition and the rhythm of this photo, almost as a little movie of the same boy coming from the beach and going into the water.

Photographers Comment

Koichi Watanabe from Yokohama, Japan, with Leica M2+35mmSummaronf2.8+Acros100 Thanks for choosing my photo. This photo was taken in Mostaganem, Algeria, when I had stayed there for my project job. Due to the security reason, we needed to arrange the armed guard to visit seaside, but people there were all very kind and carefree, even for photos. Especially when I shoot this one, I could only do one time, afer I noticed the first boy posing to me, then I saw them through finder. I had waited a little while for the four boys to be located the very best places to shoot, then I SHOT IT once. I was not sure if it becomes successful or not, as I still needed six more months to get it developed after I came back to Japan, because developing B&W films were not available in Algeria. I do love to take such kind of candid photos for years with my lovely leicas and B&W films. Thanks for such a nice opportunity! www.blogs.yahoo.co.jp/freemod1969 sorry, written in Japanese!
