This is the middle section of a much wider shot. The rest added nothing to the story.
The dog was there waiting for his kiteboarding master (or was it the jetskier? He seemed to go and greet everyone who came out of the water.) to come back in, sometimes he raced up or down the shore, sometimes he stood in the water and sometimes he just sat on the grass and watched. He wasn't at all distressed. Probably this happens a lot.
I love how this has 4 different elements to take my eyes through the whole scene. I think I saw someone else use the word zig zag and I think that fits perfectly here.
WOW Marion .. what a wonderful image you have here .. and a story to boot ..
without your comment the picture tells the story ..
i'm loving the layers of the sky, the ocean and the land with the dog ..
the kite is a stunning addition to an already perfect image ..
This photo is an instant favorite. There is a certain Jules Verne story here, a story that I want to hear on and on.
I first thought that it was a composite image which would have been fine with me also.
The zig-zagging of the composition is spectacular. Such is color, pp, etc. Congratulations!
Wonderful. I agree with jagar about the placement of the elements. My favorite is the way the kite, both in shape and in position, looks like a most unexpected crescent moon. That top third with the kiteboarder and kite is yet another image, quite surreal somehow.
