"City on the Sea"

"City on the Sea"

While this was only a snapshot and doesn't really count towards a portfolio quality photo, I really like it. The emphasis is the city, and because it's on the horizon, it allows focus to be attributed to the rail and ceiling of the boat. From this perspective, the railing creates a sense of space and distance as well as a placing for the photo's location. The contrast of the wooden railing against the black water also creates focus which leads the eye to the city in the background. The sky, while light, appears to make the city even brighter, thereby enhancing the image, not diminishing it as would have happened in the previous posts. The lighting in this photo is perfect and perhaps others would think the boat detracts from the photo's overall appeal but I think it makes the photo what it truly is.
