Artist's Comments

Last night there was a news report of high winds in the outback kicking up billows of dust and sending it east. I figured this sounded like a right recipe for sunrise photography, and as usual, hauled myself out of bed for the spectacle.

Driving to the coast, I was disappointed by the lack of clouds. Ultimately, though, I don't think it mattered too much. I like it how it is.

Although the topic is quite simple - long exposure of waves, the photo stands out in my opinion. What makes it unusual is the form of water, which, going over rock probably, is created on the photo as a miraculous form of hills and valleys. I love also the precise exposure - enough for the water to blend into one surface, but short enough to show direction of its flow as smudges.

What also makes the photo outstanding is the color - far from vivid oranges or electric pinks of usual sunset/sunrise photos. The pale shades of peach-color make not only beautiful and calming sky, but also exist as reflections on the blue water creating an unique color composition.

To sum up - great work despite popular topic!

I love the colors of course, but the thing I like best is the shapes. The water looks like ghostly grasses spreading slowly over the rocks. I also enjoy your composition here, with the rocks and rough shape in one corner moving to the softer shapes in the other corner.

Thanks mate. I'm happy to claim the composition - the ghostly water was pure luck in timing though. =P
