You are so right - they have no idea :) I don't even know this little girl but watching her watch the ocean with such amazement - I just had to capture it. I even sent the mom the picture and a few others that were just perfect for the moment.

Location
This photo was taken in Ocean City, MD. The little girl was standing there watching the waves hit the beach (you can't see that in the pic). As the waves hit the beach - she got so excited. Yet, during the pauses of waves - she just stood there patiently waiting for the next.Time
It was about 5pm with the sun right behind us. For me - the perfect amount of light.Lighting
I love early morning or early evening natural light and this was in early evening with just the right amount of daylightEquipment
Nikon D600 and that's itInspiration

Sometimes it just one of those - "you had to be there" moments.
