    I can't also believe your very keen sense of observation, Richard. +1 to both of you. Nice shot, Andrea. thumb.gifthumbthumb.gifclap.gifclapclap.gif
    Sitting quietly, doing nothing. Spring comes and the grass grows by itself.

    Richard, Jiro, thanks a lot!

    Honestly I had no time to think about the colors when I took the photo, the kid was changing position and place quite quickly, I just framed and took few pictures to get a good sharp one... but you're right, he could not be better dressed :D!!!

    Very nice. Lovely moment. :)

    Considered a mono, too? Looks nice...

    I was also thinking about a BW conversion... here is a first attempt, any suggestion and comment is welcome as usual!

    Yeah, I think B&W works. I had a play earlier, and in my version I must have had the sliders in the B&W adjustment a little different - I made the shirt darker in mine. But it works equally well. I could post it, but I'm not suggesting it is any better than yours. :)

    Nice.

    Feel free to post, I'm curious to see the difference, as on my version I intentionally tried to tonally separate the shirt and jeans...

    Here we go...I attempted to separate the shirt, hat and water...so we were thinking on the same lines. :)

    The color coordination makes the shot!

    The shot also works in B&W because the pose is so classic. But if forced to pick only one, I would stick with the color version. Color candids are harder than B&W, IMO, but this one came together so well that it seems a shame to waste.

    Juano, Richard, thank you very much for looking and for your support. I also prefer the color version, as that was my idea at the time of taking the shot...
