Another shot taken in Sidmouth, I got very lucky with this one, I was panning aimlessly with my zoom lens when I caught this kid climbing over some of the sea defences!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

This is really great Dave. As Judith said the color and brightness of the boy in a grey-like background adds so much to this image. Maybe it was luck but you've caught a great moment.

@Organik: He was braver than me, I went scrambling over them later, and I was alot more cautious!
