Looking for Stones

I took this photo on a Sunday evening enjoying a leisurely walk along the banks of the river Rhône (one of the two rivers which runs through Lyon). The evening began to draw to a close and the colours of the water became stunning. I saw this kid looking for stones to skim and asked his parents if they would mind if I took his picture. I'm so glad they did because he was such a photogenic kid and I really liked the way this photo turned out.

    Great shot - love the use of the filters. But - "Testing the Water" would be a better title?

    Hi Dustin,
    Thanks for the visit to my blog, and the kind words.
    You have some fantastic images posted here. Yes, the boy did make a wonderful subject and the vantage point in this photo was great. Come back and visit again, I am sure to do the same! :)

    Nice shot! I remember doing the same when I was a kid. It was one of my favorite games.
