Running

I really like this picture because it captures time so well. The person running, the shadow on the wet sand, the sunset , the colors of the sky , the ripples in the water.... The colors going from very dark to very bright, the movement of the person as well the contrast gives it special effects. The extra bright sun in the sky, looks like it gives life to the water and the sand. It also looks like it gives energy to the person who is running. The wide step and bounce on the person also help with the concept of time, it gives him speed. I also like this picture because the sun is what draws you into the bright spots however the main focus is the person running and that makes you look closer to the water, and the shadow. There is also some texture seen on the sand and the waves splashing in the background.
