I spent an unreasonable amount of time deciding how to crop this scene. The original shot had sea, waves, foam, and glittering sunlight - none of which were all that spectacular, but still enough to rob attention from that dreamy backdrop. So I opted for minimalism: erase everything until only the essence remains. In a way, photography is the ultimate art of subtraction. Picking this angle over the one 90° to the left is already an act of leaving things out. And the moment we press the shutter, we’re discarding every other possible moment in time. It’s all about what doesn’t make it into the frame!
