Hi Maurus, This photo is divided in thirds-the sand is divided by the fence into two parts and the water makes the third. The fence leads directly to the water but the boy is off to the right apart from the strong compositional element of the fence. The boy looks very tiny and alone with the vastness of the water around and above him. The lack of color (except for the red piece of clothing on the fence?) adds to the quiet, kind of sterile aloneness of the image. I think it speaks to our insignificance in the grand scheme of things. Very good composition to evoke a mood. I wonder what he is contemplating?
