Joyce from Montana, United States

Fun shot! Sunglasses are so anonymous arent they? I usually do not like pictures with everyone hiding behind dark glasses -- their individuality masked. Once I lined up my entire family of 20 people or so for a picture, on the beach, all with shades on, and all of them looked like Keanu Reeves in Matrix movie. 25 Keanus! I said, "All of you! Take off your shades!"

10 Apr 2013 3:09pm

@Joyce: true, they make one anonymous ... and how did your "glass-less" photo turn out? with everyone squinting at the sun and contorting their faces ?!? ;-)))

Reinald Van De Walle from Vigo, Spain

Good title. I like the composition and the perfect reflection.

10 Apr 2013 6:29pm

Marilla from Turku, Finland

Cool image in the glasses!

10 Apr 2013 6:58pm

Joyce from Montana, United States

They all looked alike because they were squinting at the sun. Of course, my family all look alike anyway. Oh well.
