Gorgeously done! I love the way the sky looks so threatening and the boys huddle into Dad knowing that he is invincible and therefore will protect tham from even nature herself.
I love the way you stood back and took it all in. The textures in the sky and the sand are wonderful. Composition is well balanced. And the togetherness of Dad and the boys is to be cherished.
To me, the most powerful and moving photography is the kind that hasn’t been edited much. I like for the photos to speak for themselves..and to tell a story. Your work DOES that. I sooooo appreciate that! This is striking!!
