The difference in tonal character of the breaking waves between this image and the previous one is striking even while the respective foreground and background tones are so similar. Nice pairing, John.
Your comment’s helpful because when I was working on these this morning I liked them for different reasons. The first is abstract and two dimensional, and this one has more of a sense of light and space. I posted them in sequence despite the fact that I probably wouldn’t hang them together in a show (at least not without additional companions). Happy to hear you like them together.
Interesting. Yes, I can understand your reluctance to hang them together. But here, one after the other, they let me appreciate the play of light, shadow and the waves themselves. I did enjoy them together.
Another interpretation. I like the softness here, it seems to be an expression of how sunlight and water can mix together.
