“Observou a doce ondulação das águas a rebentar na praia.
Porque é que o mar sempre em movimento era tão calmante,
tão infinitamente sedutor?"

Très beau, très pur, notre passage ici bas est un équilibre subtil mais par forcemment fragile.

Me too ;) Beautiful in the curve on top of which he walks, the closer possible of the ocean and i love to guess the opening sky with that light through up there, on the edge (of the upper limit of the frame). On the edge, he is too. But confident. And i love that. Have a very nice week, Sharon*

Very nice light on the water and the silhouette invite to the meditation.
Kind regards

Excellent composition, good strong shapes and the man is reminded of how small he is compared with nature.

Brilliant composition, did that person stand at that location "by accident"? Couldn't have been better!
28 May 2012 7:25am
@Hans ter Horst: Thank you. He was just some random guy walking toward me. I stood and waited for him to be exactly where I wanted him in the frame.
Great catch ! Love the compo ! A beautiful shot ! Well done

If he doesn't look where he's going he'll belong 'in' it too! :-)
Wonderful composition and tone.

@Ian Smith: People actually run along the edge -- something I couldn't do without eventually falling in.
Love the composition and the beautiful fine b&w ... The man just 'connects' the sky, the sea and the land..what a good location:)

Oh you're at your best Sharon! Just couldn't expect a more beautiful compo and placement! And your tone, light help make this such a moving image for one to feel!

A wonderful moment at sunset and you have composed this capture so great and special! Seems so simple, but I think it´s not so easy to make a masterpiece of such an "ordinary" motive.

A perfect quote for this beautifu shot Sharon! Bravo! ;-)

Very good composition.
Why a quotation in Portuguese?
28 May 2012 7:51pm
@António Pires: Thanks Antonio. I originally found this quote written in Portuguese and ran it through the translator and really like the words. I just wanted to leave it the way I found it...
A gorgeously composed B&W photograph. The ocean is soooo alluring, I absolutely agree!

superb composition! love the leading edge line as it takes the eye towards the person and there is good contrast in this scene as well!

Such a dreamy..evocative image. Wonderful composition..and so simple in b&w.

A wonderful tonality in this image. I enjoy that gleaming water and the darker tones elsewhere.

stunning as always. Love the way you composed this, especially your use of negative space. (I also like the rocks in the foreground, but I can't quite pinpoint why)

a nice scene, well composed with lovely silvered reflections on the sea.

A powerful interpretation of the loneliness that threads it's way through many of your images...and beautifully portrayed.

a nice moment and a fantastic photo! nice mood!

Perfectly composed for incredible mood. He stands atop that curve as though on a ship headed for the open sea and new adventures. Splendid!
