Beautiful shot. I wish that you had not cropped away the shadows in the sand :)

@Babul Bhatt: I did not crop it. It was a result of bad composition :)
I was not too happy about that when I was looking at the image at home. But then there was nothing I could do :(

This is a wonderful capture. Children at the beach are universal; these children are like all children -- fascinated and fun to watch as they interact with the waves and sand. But to add the sunset is to create art, and you have.

A beautiful sunset. Specially the silhouettes from the kids in the front makes this picture to a eye-catcher.
The colour-coordination underline the nice mood.

@MichelG: Thanks MichelG

Good capture, and the framing looks good to me, as the tighter crop makes up for the loss of the foreground shadows. I think that if you had pulled back a bit more, the composition wouldn't have been as good, so well done

@Richard_Irwin: Thanks Richard. What you said is also true. But somehow I was not completely happy about the composition for this one. There is always that feeling of "I could have done better"

That is beautiful Anup. The golden color is a magic light.

You really have got these sunset pics down to a point where i can say that they are bordering on perfect. The Payyambalam Beach must be a pretty place. The kids add so much life to the pic.
