Passing Cloud

Perhaps the greatest challenge in landscape photography is the taming of nature’s chaotic canvas into a simple and engaging image; the systematic distillation of everything that happens and exists before us into a carefully framed fusion of time and space, creating a sublime connection with humanity. This viewpoint allowed me to create a momentary juxtaposition of the cloud and the shape created by the tide beneath it. Within minutes of making this photograph, the cloud was gone and the tide was receding.
