Captured with a small full-frame camera and 21mm lens. A three second exposure smoothed waves and surf.
This was an exercise in tone, perspective, and convergence. The four major boundaries of the scene converge (approximately) near the center of the frame, forming a flattened X.
I moved around and composed this both with and without the driftwood in foreground, which interrupts the composition but, I decided, is helpful to anchor the frame.
I see the impassible framing of left and right with the paths in the sand holding some implied meaning to ponder, meaning instantiated by the driftwood. Like what does it mean to take, what one perceives as, a path less traveled.
