What is the meaning of life, a photo from Florida, South

Photographer's Note

Watching this young one walk like the world is on his shoulders. I like silhouettes for this reason. It puts our imaginations into high gear. I hope he was able to gather the meaning of life on his walk that morning.

Hi Jimmy,
fantastic composition, so very creative! Great use of a child silhouette here. I am actually often trying to take a photo of my daughter next to the sea but she usually turns her back at me which limits composition opportunities.
Great idea for a title, today I was blank, and I could not come up with anything interesting.
Yes in the covid times this question is often on many minds. We certainly have to revise now our ideas about life and its purpose.
Very well done,
M

Excellent sharp and clear photographed.
Composition and presentation make your picture attractive.
Very well done, TFS.

John.

Hi Jimmy

An excellent tonal range and the fg silhouette of the child contemplating who knows what provides a great focal point. I like the fg sharpness tapering off to oof in the bg. Tfs!

Hi Jimmy
I like the title and a strong silhouette capture that fires your imagination, not only is dramatic but technically it looks great too. You've got that chap bang on in focus, very well timed and excellent use of selective dof. An evocative and a joy to view....
Best regards

Best regards and Happy Easter

Hello Jimmy

Great silhouette with the turned around baseball cap a fine feature. Good bl/w tones and slight vignetting do the rest. As far as the question in your title goes: the answer is life and life itself!

Cheerio & thanks for posting

Benny

Hi Jimmy
Life doesn't depend on what happens in front of us.
It depends on what attitude we take. That's what life is all about.
