Carpe diem

Carpe diem

Carpe diem
– meaning Sieze the Day, Live in the Moment etc and who knows better how to do that than a child. This boy leaping across the rocks in the afternoon sun, reminded me of the freedom that summer seems to hold.
I used some textures to try to enhance and portray that feeling.

    This is excellent Trish. It reminds me of the one i took with a lady balancing barefooted on rocks. Great editing too.
