This shot is made in the direction of the sun, but below the sun. The sea horizon, just under the sun, is shining, while the closer sea and the sandbanks in the contre-jour appear dark because of a large cloud above them.
I love the abstract - but for some strange reason I felt like I wanted to chop off about half of the sky - I think it may have been the fluffy clouds that didn't fit with all the horizontals and stark shapes.?
@robz Rob, I tried what you suggested and you are absolutely right. When I made the shot, I did not intend it initially as an abstract, so maybe this has influenced unconsciously the way I framed it. I have reposted an edited version today that I have tagged for the abstract challenge.
