A timeless shot, captured in great style.

Charming. My favorite, so far.

Nice picture of the kid. Know him? You might offer his parents a print. Only quibble is that I'd punch up the contrast a bit.

Is that concrete or a rock?

I don't know the kid - but could probably find out. Good point on the contrast - I'm still learning this scan stuff. The item is a rock. A later shot has him standing on the rock, surrounded by water, about to take a "dive" into the unknown. Next shot - he's on his back with his arms and legs flailing in the air, having taken the dive "wrong".

A lovely subject and nice composition, but I wonder if the aperture has allowed a little lack of focus, or the shutter speed allowed some fuzziness around the little one?
