A golden moment, Mission Beach, California, 2015

This vertical image produces a story in colors. The yellow sun is halfway down, while delicate clouds hover above it within an orange sky. The sea is blue, and seems to flow towards the beach in four gentle waves. The water at the bottom of the image is only ankle deep at beach's edge. It reflects the golden color of the sky, providing a fitting setting for this lone surfer as he emerges from the sea and leaves the memory of a sunset ride behind him.

The vertical orientation is the key to this image, Iris. By compressing the layers here, the vertical framing calls much more attention the stacking effect of the incoming waves and the variety of colors linking the golden beach to the golden sky.

Love the vertical orientation and the beautiful layers of color. A golden moment, indeed!
