Patti has asked us to share images showing emotions
Firstly, I shall go for exhilaration – these lads were having a wonderful time by the beach:

Next, contentedness- these little girls were happy in each other’s company, enjoying playing in the long grass

Happiness – making music is a wonderful thing

Good choices for a tricky challenge, Sue.
Best wishes, Pete.
Well, I did want more variety, but hey!
A nice selection. I’m always shy of taking people-shots, but your first one – which is so effective – shows it can be done without shame.
Thank you, Margaret!
Excellent, your pictures capture ‘full of life’.
Ah, why didn’t I think of that!
Excellent job Sue – loved that opening image. Who’d have thought an image where the subject is blurred could be so telling and evocative! I found this challenge truly challenging 😊 and am happy to see the number of creative and interesting responses, including yours. Well done!
Many thanks for your kind words, Tina!
Excellent, Sue! I had big difficulties with this one and had to resort to family and students. Love the blur making everything come more alive!
Way to go!!
Heavens, you’re kwik off the mark, Sue! Love that first one especially 🙂 🙂
The first is one of my favourite slow shutter speed images!
Love the first one with the motion!
Thanks, Jude! See my response to Jo!
What a lovely trio for the challenge Sue ! I think you’ve summed up the emotions visually so well in these images 🙂
I think we’re all longing for such freedom and happiness again … once …
Thanks, Poppy! Glad you like these!
The children’s joy and exuberance are priceless! Great captures, Sue.
Thanks, Patti! Glad you liked these
Lovely story-telling images Sue!
Excellent selections. Very well done.
Many thanks, John
I loved the one of the two girls in the grass. It is timeless and could be anywhere in the world. Thanks. I felt I was there.
Yes, thanks Elizabeth- when I saw those girls, timeless certainly sprang to mind
All three are just wonderful — I can identify with kids at play by the sea since we’ve been taking our granddaughter to the beach for 11 years. Her exuberance rivals the views of the ocean. But your last one is also a delight! Thanks for sharing all.
Many thanks, Rusha!
