This image challenges the viewer’s imagination to wonder where reality ends and reflection begins? I used spot metering to expose this image for the sun-splashed hull, allowing the heavily shadowed prow area at right to go dark. It’s that area where the vanishing point effect takes over. The actual edge of the prow becomes increasingly faint as it drops towards the water. It then vanishes altogether, only to re-emerge as faint reflection. Meanwhile, the sun-struck portion of the hull becomes a golden pool of swirling reflectivity, a perfect counterpoint to the vanishing prow. (This image was inspired by one of my favorite photo's on pbase, Zandra Titso's "Calm." ( http://www.pbase.com/miinerva/image/40378609 ) Zandra does in black and white what I am have tried to do here in color.)
