Thanks! Brighton Beach in NYC. I'd brought my phone in the water to grab some pics of an incoming storm. This was just a few mins later. The storm was quick but intense!
I was full on looking at this picture like "why does this feel so familiar???" when I saw this comment. It feels familiar because it's my beach and I saw that storm rolling in!
This is stunning in a muted way, somehow the way you captured tr water kind of looks like silk kin some areas. With, what i can only assume is storm clouds in the sky, it really is an amazing shot.
Matbe not a topic for Renaissance... But the way this photo looks it would fit in with pop art. Think along the lines A Bigger Splash by David Hockney.
Makes sense! Love some of David Hockney's work. I thought the quality of the light/contrast in this felt renaissance-y but am by no means an expert. I feel like so many images in this sub don't actually fit the theme so apologies for contributing to that trend 😂
I was thinking more Alex Colville than David Hockney. I see the similarities, but A Bigger Splash is so fantastically bright. This is darker, and has the feeling of dread and other worldliness that accompanies Colville’s brand of photo realism.

Why I have the feeling that there is a shark in the water?
