Description

Sunlight dapples across the kelp strewn along the shore, imparting a Midas touch to its natural textures. The once humble seaweed gleams with a golden sheen, its edges caressed by the warmth of the sun. It’s a serene, yet vibrant scene, where the day’s light transmutes the ordinary into a spectacle of fleeting, natural opulence.

Specific Feedback

Glorious tones in the kelp, Saundie, and the light is wonderful. You found a great composition.

Wonderful!!! This stuff is difficult to shoot and you found an amazing composition with wonderful light! And with a smartphone! Does it have a macro lens? Amazing…

Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad you like it! Haha, no macro lens, Diane, just the ability to crawl around on my knees.

You’ve taken the busy and the ordinary and created something visually enticing. Very tough to do with kelp but you’ve pulled it off. I love your description of the day and the scene. Very poetic. Great capture Saundie.
