It looked like a colorful painted background and a light projecting it into my eyes. I watched my brother climb to the tallest rock by the ocean and he stood there as I took the picture. To me, I was seeing the light rising from the ground into the air and gone into the heavens. When you’re looking at the photo it feels like a dream, all the bad thoughts gone and you’re floating through a calm sky.
With the slender moon above, this reminds me of the cover of a children’s book. I feel safe and curious when looking at this photo.
The silhouette of the man looking up gives the photo a sense of hope and direction. This photo also reminds me of the Dream Works cover.
Wow this is so inspiring! I love the silhouette and the simple and distant crescent. Also, I really like the gradient colors.
I really like this picture because it has negative space and tells a story the lighting is also really good.
