Beautiful work. A devil or an angel could be watching this!

Yes, hold tight, as the place does not look so friendly. A striking juxtaposition, and a daring composition.

what a lovely image.....really made me smile, such enthusiasm just in the fact that the child is standing tall on the railing, getting the best glimpse of the big kids on their bikes, and the strong arm of the father holding on. Unusual perspective of this often photographed location. Well done as usual :-)

That is rally nice !!

If I remember correct, you can get some great shots of kids skate boarding there as well. Nice shot.

An excellent shot, and looks like a great location.

I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.

Great contrasts!
VOte!

I love the contrast between severe, even sinister background and the soft bright colors of the girl dress. IMHO the picture would be even more striking if the girl would be on her own without the helping hand

who is the special friend?. we all get a rush from graffiti.. even though we know it's naughty! or perhaps because...
Guest 17-Jun-2007 19:36
good shot of two different worlds! hiya Ray!

She's a possible future skateboarder. The graffiti is all sharp in there, great considering how dark it is (9 times out of 10 mine are blurred!) and what a grey day it has been today.

Such incongruity! Nice to see Dad's reassuring hand.
