How interesting Birgit, the way you dismiss the horizon here to capture the foreground footsteps and the middle ground glow of the water… Feels like it is cut but works well as it takes straight to the point of the artist’s intention, and not what one would be looking…
Thanks, Angela, I was seduced by the footsteps.
Angela, a great observation. Birgit, an excellent photograph, particularly the way the color of the light (sun) on the water echoes the color of the sand. And I liked, too, your comment about the multilingual chatter.
We’re looking at clouds today and I’m thinking about “unoriented” space. The footprints orient the space in a way that the sun’s reflection doesn’t. Interesting….
June,
The different orientations, angles, of the light beam and footprint make for tension?
the way the color of the light (sun) on the water echoes the color of the sand: This observation may help me with inventing color interactions in my next painting that (so far, only in my mind) I have difficulties with: sand and water, but in bright sunshine.
Being an obsessive and heading for the desert, I too am thinking about the way the sunlight interacts and even acts as orientation, even when you can’t see the sun. The desert doesn’t provide much vertical relief to create shadows, but your water reflections are giving me ideas.
