Don't be fooled by the b & w..... by newbank

Don't be fooled by the b & w.....

.....It was cold, grey, overcast.... BUT when you are 5 and on holiday and mummy has brought a towel and spare pair of clothes it doesn't matter into the sea you go.... very British and all that. I had four layers on top and rolled up trousers but we spent a delightful 40 minutes playing together. Precious moments just me and my first baby.
I love the sense of fun in this. Kids are great and this shot is too. Fav

This is a lovely fun shot. I wish had taken more of my children at that age. They (like me) are too camera shy now!

What memories are made of, and it looks great in b&w!

What a glorious shot. Just what I need to cheer me up on a dank, wet and grey June day in the UK.

great photo lovely happy photo :)

Yes, kids can go in the water regardless of the temperature. Brrr, I'd be like you with the 4 layers!

Great shot, I love the composition. We always have the same issue in cool weather at the beach, even if we haven't brought a towel and change of clothes, the girls somehow always manage to end up in the water! The other day I had to make a skirt for one of them out of a fleecy jacket because her trousers were all wet.

@jazhirst I'm sure these are the bits of parenting we will treasure most as memories in years to come.

@creampuff it's horrible isn't it!!! We went for our yearly summer clothes stock up in town, the pouring rain rained in my spending!!

He looks cold! So long as mum gave him warm clothes and a big hug afterwards.

@dibzgreasley he got wetted before he got out, he wanted all his clothes to be wet!

Yeah, kids dont feel the cold!

Such a precious moment. Well done for making the most of the weather.

Hi! Following up on your comment about mentoring, I'm very happy to do that and maybe you can do the same for me? I love this photo - perfect capture of a happy moment. My children will always run in the sea, whatever the weather, whatever they are wearing. I love the contrast of your son against the high key sea. The only thing I might have changed in this, is your POV, maybe move a bit lower or further away to get more of the sea in. Hope you are having a lovely holiday.

Precious memories, lovely shot, he looks to be enjoying it regardless of the weather, but that's our good old British summer!
June 4th, 2014  
Lovely black and white shot!!! He's adorable!!! What fun!!!

I love the capture of his expression -- he conveys that he's cold but doesn't really care. Well composed, good balance. I think Rachel's point would be worth looking at if taking another like this -- getting a little lower so we aren't looking down at him from above. But overall, it's a strong image -- especially with his expression.
