Art Vocabulary and Craftsmanship
|
The photographer would have
used a fast shutter speed in order to get the wave just before it collided
with the sand. It has a fairly long depth of field.

I
love the golden color from the sunset contrasted with the shadows cast from the
sun. The line from the sun leads the eye to the crest of the wave. The gap
between the wave and the sand leads the eye deeper into the image and adds
space.
The
movement of the wave was frozen with a faster shutter speed, but you can
still see the movement of the water with the ripples. The side lighting adds
texture my highlighting the ripples and casting shadows.

Conceptual Skill
|
I
think the photographer wanted to show what it’s like to be in a wave as it’s
crashing down.
|
Critique
|
I
like this picture because of the space between the sand and the crest of the
wave. It almost pauses time in between a hectic moment in the water.
