 I was there to capture shots of the sunset, but sometimes the perfect scene appears for one brief moment... I turned, shot, and fell in love with the result. I hope some here enjoy it as well.

Random woman, I name thee 'Sea'

She was stunning, like the sunset.
She was strong, like the sea.
A beauty to rival nature...

and unaware of me.

And I, the humbled man,
captured the scene, my heart in sway.
Then I, the broken man...

quietly walked away.

I found this quite compelling. Unfortunately, some voters have a higher priority on focus than impact. Nicely captured.

Thanks for the vote and comment, and the reference back to a work I had yet to discover! Quite fitting, and an amazing read! I dabble a bit in the poetic side, too, and love it when I can connect the art of photography with a bit of prose, or as I call it "verbal imagery". And hey, now I know that at least two of us liked the pic despite it's faults! :D
