a helping hand across cold waters
An imperfect image yet one I could not make myself delete. An older man was helping a very young child cross big stones at the ocean’s edge. She was having a grand time dancing above the waves and perceived no danger in the rising tide. The man was more wary, and getting quite wet, but given the smile on his face at the child’s unconstrained joy, a bit of wetness was all worth it.
Words + Images 
I think the soft focus works beautifully. Without the narrative this is a very powerful image. The viewer can read so much into it, even a reprise of Michaelangelo’s famous Sistine Chapel painting. I love it
Thank you. Your words help me see the image in a different way. 😉
