excellent capture...who is in the shot?

Thank you Ade. Much appreciated. It's just a fellow photographer. I met him walking down the beach. He stayed there for a few days in a tent. I'm pretty sure he took some wonderful shots.

beautiful sillhouette!

great shot.

wow it is so perfect it looks almost photoshopped!

Only contrast and white balance adjustments. Thank you all for your nice comments.

Congrats for your first place, Mogrim!

Congrats, awesome shot

Thank you.

Too sweet!

Thanks for the tip

lovely photo, but off theme I think.

Point taken... if you want me to remove it, please let me know...

i don't know, i think it's kind of funny. yeah it's not exactly an expression but you could look at the baby flipping the camera off as a reaction for sure. i laughed really hard when i saw this, so i say keep it. but that's just my opinion.

It's not exactly what I would say is on theme either. Generally you want the person to be looking at the camera.

sorry, I have to agree with Jawshoewhah and Friishkiwi...

IMO this isn't even funny... babies have involuntary movements and have nooooooo understanding of anything.. now had it been a 2 year old giving the finger it would be hilarious given they have some concept and obviously would have learned it ..

Ok... I will remove it... as soon as I figure out how to do it! Help??

You can' t remove it, only replace it. Just because we feel it's not really on theme doesn't mean it has to go. It probably just won't rank very high. Just better luck next time, ok?

Thanks Jaw! No problem... I go by the rule that winning isn't all that matters... the most important thing is to play fair!

i think its funny...we all know babies have involuntary movements and cant understand anything, which is why capturing this shot is funny it was great timing...if a two year old did it, it would be a result of seeing someone or a bunch of people do it therfore could be a result of bad parenting...and it wouldnt be as funny

This is win! but it's sort of off topic.

Definitly needs contrast adjustment and not remotely ghostly. keep trying.
