Boat as silhuet in the sunset Photo

Photographer’s Note

This photo of the boat is taken on the north-eastern part of funen in the heart of Denmark. It was right after sunset as I went to the beach for take this snapshot. The boat was fleeding around in the water so I could not use a very long shutter speed because then the boat not will be sharp.

Hope you like it.

in a recent issue of "outdoor photographer" several people - including psychologists and those knowledgeable about symbols - were asked to explain why the photos of children, close-up photos of flowers and photos of boats at sunset have such a strong appeal. turns out, what we see in photos like this is a deeply-rooted symbolism - sunset as a "death" of the day and boat as a transport to the "other side". but we also see a promise of a rebirth - the new day. I guess it makes photos of sunsets very personal, since even if it happens subconsciously, we associate these scenes with the cycle of life.

to make a long story short - beautiful colours, very simple, but (see above :))appealing composition. I like the placement of the boat in the shot, the silhouette is very clear.

best,
Kristine
