The three boats in this scene form a balletic triangle -- their movement geometrically suspended by the camera. The early morning light abstracts them into silhouettes, and I've increased the degree of abstraction by converting the photo from color to black and white. It is the triangular composition that makes this image an expressive photograph – the body language within each boat is different, and the triangular arrangement invites the eye to pursue each in turn. The figures in the boats increase in size as we move from point to point, the largest of them steering us out of the image at lower right.
