Late afternoon sunlight drew quite a few photographers and their clients to the beach. Oh, and their assistants were there, too.

I made this shot without having time to compose it because I really, really wanted the reflector blocking the face of the kid that was being photographed. There is the tiniest chance that I followed them around for a while, hoping to get a better version of this shot, but that never happened…
