There are different ways of shooting. There are the shots done and the works conducted after on it.
And there are these (becoming) rare shots where the photograph has managed to trigger purposely with a vision, and a meaning, a proposal.
I just love the way the water has been so crytal clear captured, fragmented against the concrete shore, while there is this person, at the background, with a so dreamy rendering.
Technically, it is perfect, as I don't doubt there was a lot of light but anyway: an ideal triggering speed to get the sparkles of water, and an aperture giving a narrow depth of field, deserving properly the vision and the way the artist is making of his shot a sublime artwork.
Thanks a lot for this excellent piece of photography, which is inspiring, and pushes humble amateurs like me to always think and rethink, work to get appropriate results. Well done!

Fantastic job with the lighting, the figure in the background is blurred but still stands out so dramatically. Also I love the choice to go black and white! Beautiful photo.
