The sun has set, and the overhead clouds reflect its lingering presence upon the flat water at the edge of the incoming tide. A group of six people had gathered in the wet sand to enjoy the colorful scene. By exposing my image on the bright water, I make their figures became abstract silhouettes. A man and boy stand at left, two more children occupy the middle of the grouping, and a woman holds a baby off to the right of this grouping. I saw this runner enter my frame and pass through the group. I waited to catch her when she became clearly separated from the others. I also waited until the parallel lines of water receded just far enough to create an uninterrupted, finely textured span of reflective water for my background.
