Figure on the Beach by taffy

Figure on the Beach

We went for a walk on the beach and happened on a wedding. This was one of the bridesmaids, I think. Just to the right of her was a huge tent and dozens of people dancing and eating.
Here's the scene just to her right: http://365project.org/taffy/special-photos/2016-12-23
Lovely shot ... nice that her dress reflects the pink tinge in the sky...

Great composition, very nice shot.

The artist's perspective... never a lie, only subjective truths! Without your description this photo would tell an entirely different story! Love it!
December 28th, 2016  
LOVE this. How cool to have nothing in the image but the bridesmaid, the beach, the sea and the sky. And how cool to know what was going on just alongside!!! Super capture.

A beautifully composed image , and beautiful hues and tones throughout , without the knowledge of the nearby crowd and frivolity this could suggest a very different story . A huge fav :)

How interesting that you isolated this shot from the scene. Before I read you description this scene looks to me as if she had walked to the oceans edge to breath the sea air and contemplate a while. I like your use of open space, lovely shot.

Wonderful shot.
December 28th, 2016  
Before I read your description, I had a completely different interpretation of the scene. I like how you've created a sense of space. The tones are beautiful too.

Splendid isolation :)

Stunning shot. Wonder if she caught the bouquet?
Or maybe she didn't and she is wondering when it will be her turn.

Fav. Superb shot and composition. Reminds me of a book I read many years ago " The French Lieutenant's Woman.
December 28th, 2016  
Oh the colors.

She'd love to have that photo. I wonder if there's any way to easily find out whose wedding it was. whose

December 28th, 2016  
Well, this was worth that walk on the beach! I'm sure this image would make a lovely painting, too.
December 28th, 2016  
Sounds like a picture that has two stories depending on where you place your camera.
December 28th, 2016  
Brilliant, the elongated foreground creates an atmosphere of isolation. Fav
December 28th, 2016  
nice crop! Makes it mysterious

Lovely minimalist shot, the crop's perfect.

Thanks for the story beyond the image. What we see is sometimes not what is....
December 29th, 2016  
What a beautiful capture, Taffy. Looks like a painting. FAV
December 29th, 2016  
Lovely capture. She looks lost in thought.

Lovely, wonderfully evocative of many possible stories
December 29th, 2016  
So potent in its feeling. Would you consider doing a content aware move?there is something about her seeming to be just about to walk out of the frame that is unsettling...but maybe that makes it more powerful. I'm not sure
December 29th, 2016  
@jgpittenger Interesting idea...I had liked her placement and the way she is barely of the scene, but am open to suggestions.
December 29th, 2016  
Beautiful

I like that she is just in the image and no more. Such a great depiction of silence, reflection and solitude (even though there's a party going on).
December 29th, 2016  
How wonderful to have a wedding party on the beach - love the solitude .

Exceptionally elegant! Fav!
