Frolicking in the water

and maybe waiting for Dad to finish fishing. I asked the lady if it was ok to take a photo, she just laughed.

It was actually the first time I had the guts to do so.

A great capture and edit. It’s not always easy to ask for permission. Some days I feel more confident than others.

Great capture and editing. I have no confidence to ask permission to take photos of people in the street.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Such a lovely candid!

[Babs]

Lovely shot glad you plucked up the courage to ask permission. I always ask if it's ok

[Liz Gooster]

Wonderful photo - I’m glad you had the courage to ask!

[Renee Salamon]

How fun to capture them all playing in the water! I’m so proud of you for taking that extra leap and asking permission! Good for you

[Bucktree]

Great capture. Cool effect as the wave coming in might cover them up.

[Joy's Focus]

Love the water effects. I am not comfortable at all asking people for permission to take a photo. I would rather capture a moment in natural poses. If there are children in the shot, I would definitely ask permission first.

[Mags]

Well done!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I love this and I too am too chicken to take pictures of people in public unless I can do it on the sly! This is wonderful!

Good shot- that was good of you to ask to take the shot. I'm sure it gave the mom confidence to laugh and give her ok.

Good for you. I love the spacing of the people, and the interaction of the Mom and child. Great shot!

[Carole Sandford]

Well done Diana. Resulted in a lovely shot!

[Heather]

Fabulous, Diana! I love the soft layers! And good for you for approaching the woman for a photo (I'm still working on my courage) Fav (p.s. I love the woman's smiling-laughing face. Such a happy candid!)
