| Sunset over Nye Beach at Newport, Oregon, May 2015. (Photo by Daniel Binkard) |
The sunset was full of gentle shapes and colors reflecting on the water over Newport, Oregon. This is a straightforward composition, dominated by the rippling shapes of the clouds and counterpointed by tiny human elements. And a bird element. While this would have been all right with just the far hillside and lighthouse in the distance, it would have been flat and not really worth showing. But the beachgoer and gull in the foreground create a fun punctuation for the scene. Looking at the scaled-down version of the photo, I thought the bird was a dog, until I zoomed in. Either way, it's fun.
