The Beachcomber and The Photographer - 30 January 2014

At the beach in Philipsburg, St. Maarten my eye was caught first by the beachcomber who was operating his metal detector under water which I have not seen before. He was joined incidentally by a lad who was photographing two friends on a nearby pier. I was torn between a composition in which the two are further apart and this which I think has more impact as a depiction of a moment in two separate lives.
