Walking Home

Hi Simon ... you really made a very good use of that cloudy day at the beach. Your serie is wonderful and this one is not the exception. You caught  an awesome atmosphere in each one of your pictures ... I´ve been admiring them for a long time ... and they are lovely. Very good work ... Regards

Simon.   Less is more.  This is simply wonderful.  Regards.  Larry

Thanks again Ricardo, yes I did make good use of the light that day on the beach as it looked like a mirror, it was a good haul :)

Larry thank you for your comments, I really do enjoy making very simple photos, beaches are obviously a great place to do this.

Hi Simon,

Your overall portfolio shows a particular style or approach that is very compelling, often subtle and without a need to overdo compositional or colour aspects. This may be my favourite, with its incredible cloud pattern that complements the beach and sea, with both seen (detailed) and undetailed yet very atmospheric parts of the subject, and the positions of the man and the others far down along the beach. The oblique triangle formed by the meeting of beach with the water and the water with the sky and pointing out of sight help frame the main subject and suggest his long and possibly reflective walk. The sheen on the beach and its link to the sky, and the colour tones, are very beautiful. Your desire to make images that are simple yet powerful is really working. Bravo!
