 Captured by James Engel on May 10, 2016, this evocative image invites us into a serene encounter with nature. Using a Nikon D610 with an 85mm focal length, James has framed a solitary seagull in the bottom right third of the composition, where the gentle waves of Biloxi’s shore whisper their timeless song. The aperture of ƒ/11 and ISO 100 ensure every detail of this tranquil scene is rendered with clarity and depth. The seagull stands as a symbol of grace and solitude against the backdrop of the rolling waves, its poised presence a stark contrast to the dynamic motion of the sea. This photograph, taken with the NIKON 24-85mm F3.5-4.5G ED VR AF-S Nikkor Lens, captures a fleeting moment of quiet beauty and reflection on the shores of Biloxi, Mississippi. In this image, we are reminded of the elegance that resides in the simple, often unnoticed moments of nature. Let this portrait of tranquility inspire us to pause and appreciate the calm amidst the ceaseless rhythm of the ocean. |
