A study in organized elements. The clean lines of the dock and horizon are offset by the clouds and water. But even those have their own order. I am fascinated by the scale of lighting on distant objects like clouds and the moon. The principles are the same as an object 10 feet from me, but the scale makes it hard to figure the line from sun to highlight and cast shadow. If you drop too far down that rabbit hole, you might decide that the earth is flat. Obviously not. It's cylindrical.
