This image is from when I visited the Bahamas in 2007. The exposed coral takes up a majority of the image. There are a lot of organic shapes created by all the craters in the coral and the rocks. The contrast in the image allows for a more intense image, rather than just a boring image of coral. The sepia color gives the feeling of something that has been around for a while. The color is also natural and earth-ish.

It would be interesting to try out a variety of adjustments to this image, the way that Ansel Adams would experiment by developing a print in a variety ways.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I think works well with this iteration is the way that the pure white highlights push the image to where it's almost an experiment in tonal variations. As if the the tonal contrasts are more interesting than the "real" reef they depict.
