Photographer's Note
A sunset at Corong-Corong El, Nido Palawan.
The kids were playing alongside the beach. Apparently, they saw me pointing the camera at them so they put up a "show" to my delight.

Hi Manuel!
Fantastic shot.

Thanks for a new favourite.

Beautiful Composition dear Manuel.
How many shots did you take to reach this excillence?
A superb atmoshphere and the play of light and the sillhoutees is ey pleasing.
The diagonal perspective makes it a treat to watch and the reflections in the water add another feather in the beauty crown of your shot.
Very Well Done.

Hi, Manuel. A wonderful shot with a well-chosen title. These boys are full of energy and life. The silhouettes that stand out against the splendid seascape have been caught at the right moment, when all the boys but one were in mid-air. The reflections in the puddleadd to the interest of the scene. A really great shot.

Hi manny.
I just love your photography. You hve a wonderful gift not only to get all the technical stuff. But there is such a genuine purity in your photos. there is a real warmth and emotion in the pictures you take.
Just a question did you edit this, by making the profiles of the children darker? if not it is a wonderful shot, the light in the background and the forground starkly contrast the childrens figures.
Well done!!

I also like grey-blueish color in the upper part and brownish color in the lower part (though I never would've thought those two colors go so well together!).
It's definitely one happy photo!!!

A great photo. All the composition elements are here, especially: dark corners, good foreground (reflection), great background...water and mountains, without the kids is a nice shot, but they add a real focal point and your directions to all just at once was perfect. Sillhouttes makes viewer concentrate on the full image rather than the faces of the kids.

I think the kids put on a show for the delight of us all. I love silhouettes and I'd have to say this is one of my favorites. Not only are the kids silhouetted against the bright background meeting of the sky and water, their reflections are transparent silhouettes, which I don't think I've ever seen before.
The composition is awesome. Yet another one of your pictures I'm jealous of.

this photo blows me away ~
it's so full of life and expression, all in sepia tones ~ just stunning!
i am late to the crowd that has gathered to admire this, but no less a sincere admirer of its exuberance and joy of life.
beautifully, beautifully captured!
warm regards,
kristin

Hello Manuel
It seems you are a painter.You know how contour the elements in the photo to be illustrative by color or shapes or senses.
your photos tell me about life...maybe real life
