27/365 Jan 27, 2011 Floating Boy

Here is a photo taken on the beach that is really interesting. 
At first it appears that this young kid is floating in the water, while in fact he is sitting on the beach.

I guess to continue the discussions from earlier this month, what is a photo after all?  Is it intended to show what really is?  Or is it a depiction of a scene which may or may not be "real"?  And then, to continue, what is reality in this situation?  
The boy is sitting in the water, but maybe we cannot see where the water ends and the beach begins. Hence his appearing to float.
