Rottnest Island is a place where kids can run free. Simple things like riding a scooter or drawing on the road with a chalk stick may seem from a bygone eara - but not on Rotto. I snapped this picture with the 3x zoom on my Pixel 9 Pro. I have taken care not to identify the children by making them small in the frame. I have used the rule of thirds grid on the phone to compose the picture so the kids are placed where the bottom horizontal line and the right hand vertical line meet. They are moving away from the camera and into the picture which helps to draw the eye into the frame.
