Winning Photo

A powerful minimalist view which catches our gaze. Your bold central framing is even bolder with the long exposure softening the sea into melted metal. The white sky adds to the minimal effect, the bird stains make the rock interesting and tell the story. I hope we’ll be seeing more of this.

Thank you so much for selecting my photo. It was taken on the North Shore of Martha's Vineyard during the calm before a summer storm. It is a spot I visit often, and the light, water, and sky are different every time. Olympus OM-D E-M5, M.Zuiko 75mm lens, B+W 110 ND filter, 60 second exposure, Sirui 1205x tripod. Post-processing in Lightroom 5.
