This is an image I captured of my daughter on our first day on the beach. We live in Cincinnati and frequent Hilton Head Island 2-3 times a year. I asked my wife if we could get something cute to wear because the lighting was something special. I can't remember a better day of clouds and light and we've been going there for 20+ years.

Thank you! She's my little Binker!
One quick note about Hilton Head Island. The amount of crab poo has turned the beach sand into a grey muddy mess and it's not pretty. The trick is having people in the area where the tide fills up the sand so the sky can reflect off it. ☺️ (***I scientifically don't know if crab poo is the actual reason for the sand turning this color but that's my best guess:)
Shout out to Patrick & Lee, HHI is pretty much in your back yard. 😉 *** Oh, your old backyard. 😬
What a cute kid! This is a beautiful image! I wish there was just a little more space above her head. However, if I could show you how many pictures I have that I wish I had a little more room somewhere, you'd know I realize it isn't easy in the moment. Especially not with those coastal winds. This is a keeper for sure. Great work.
Thank you! I fully agree about the crop. Running backwards and shooting at that eye level isn’t very easy. It’s also cool that it was shot on a Canon 5D Mark II. I keep older bodies for beach days. It’s just safer knowing I can get an amazing image but not stress about sea mist and sand.
Nothing wrong with that at all. It definitely does an incredible job!
Definitely one of the best in this theme. Perfectly captures the mood and theme and just a great shot. Congrats!
Thank you!
