Pouring Back

My aim with this photo was to capture the water pouring back into the ocean in a certain way, and I’m pretty sure I succeeded. This may not have been quite exactly what I was hoping for, but I know it’s close enough so it counts, as far as I’m concerned.

Anyway, I really like the contrast between the motion of the water and the stillness of the rock in this photo. I also like how the clouds loom in the distance as it creates a heavier feel than if the sky were clear, I think. At the least, it makes that heaviness more overt.

This is my submission into the two hundred-and-ninety-third Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Water in Motion“.

The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:

Tina

Patti

Ann-Christine aka Leya

John Steiner

Sofia Alves

Anne Sandler

Donna

Egídio

Ritva

Sofia is curating this one. Next week John is curating.

I recommend participating in the challenges as they provide a fun way to interpret theme. If not participating, then at least you should still check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.

I hope you enjoy.

    It is hard to be patient enough to succeed with water movement. You captured it at just the right time. Well done.

    You most certainly succeeded. Furthermore, the monochrome choice was also excellent.
