As a stand alone photo it's "ok" IMO. I like the way the shoreline mimics the curving lines of the clouds. This effect helps to offset the feeling of a centered composition some. As is, this image still has some strong central themes to it with the horizon bisecting the photo pretty much in half. Not being there personally I can't say whether or not I would have taken the same image, or moved in some manner to offset the sun and horizon.
Regarding the challenge theme - not too sure this is in the spirit of the challenge. Technically, I guess it fits since you are shooting toward the light. If you had a subject in the foreground (other than landscape) it might feel different.
Just my observations. Good luck in the challenge. |
