Atmospheric Seascape Photography taken at sunset as part of an ongoing project called, "SoulScape", featuring images of sky and landscapes that symbolically represent the various characteristics of Human Thought , Mindfulness and Imagination. 'Reach for The Sky', is a seascape visualization of the calming effect that occurs when we are finally prepared and take action to accomplish long held dreams and aspirations. The image was taken as a wide angle from a sand level POV with an up tilted lens angle to both produce the feeling of magnitude in scale and to absorb the greatest intensity of natural light and the vivid colours of the sunset in contract to the illuminance from the suns reflection. I prefer to use natural manipulations of light and the subject in focus to create my final images , allowing nature to be the Artist whose work is on display rather than my own, although in this version of the image I did some minor changes to the colour and light balance to produce more drama , and to make the bird more visible as it virtually vanishes as it flies into the Sun . Taken on my favourite local beach on the Isle of Anglesey, off the North Wales mainland , UK.
