I Love Birdies

Gallery: POP PhotosPosted April 22, 2014493 views8 comments

This little child just loved the Sanibel beach. Mom said she'd never been around large numbers of birds before, but did have a pair of canaries in their home aviary.
Anna skipped up and down the beach, through the flocks of terns, peeps, and gulls, singing "I love birdies"

Excellent capture of this wonderful time in this little girl's life! The oof birds and water in the bg give a good sense of place.

Love the expression on the child's face, and this 'airborne' mid-skip snap.
Sweet shot Sandy!

Cute action pose, Sandy. She has on my standard beach footwear (except the color).

The brightness seems to give this one a lot of feel. It works. I would maybe clone out the bright arc in the background, at eye level.
