Description
In a way this may be the best beach photograph I have ever taken and there have been hundreds. The challenge was figuring out how to best show just how close this beach house was to the ocean. The only way I could figure out how to do it was stand in the water and take the picuture. I miscalculated and ended up getting much wetter than I had planned. I deliberately chose to take it late in the afternoon so I could emphasize the water and create the silhouette background. The palm trees were included in the composition to show that it was not Wisconsin. To further enhance the photograph I added in the white $199,500 against the dark background to show it was a realizable dream. It also instantly created a story picture. Otherwise it would be a dull picture of a house on a beach. I was shooting this photo to help out a friend who wants to sell that beach house. The picture was added to a website where the first thing the programmer did was crop the picture and remove the surf in it which is what had made this picture special. It was added back in when his lack of artistic insight was pointed out to him. Unfortunately to get the $199,500 that size into the picture I had to shrink the number of pixels in the picture.
