I chose this photograph, by Alex Maclean, because the texture of all the subjects is very interesting. The lighting in this picture is all natural from the sun. The color of the white sand and the dark blue ocean emphasize each other. I feel as if the picture is a little over exposed because the sand is very bright. The angle of the camera was from bird eye view. this photograph follows the guidelines of the Rule of Thirds.This photo is very creative because it shows the characteristics of the Earth that the human eye wouldn't be able to see from a ground view. Alex Maclean used a fast shutter speed to capture the movement of the water and make it very sharp.
