I think this photo is Telling a story..........it has a fantasy quality about it. There is something very appealing about it to me.
Of course it looks best in download mode.

I really like the composition. Definitely an example of a photo that tells a story.

Sometimes a fine image is just a fine image, 'story' or not.

And this is a very fine image, Brent.

Please educate me, I never see stories in any type of art.
Do I make my own interpretive story?
How do I know if I'm right?

Is she telling the kid "This is where you'll wind up if you don't behave!"?
or "This is where we get our fish from."?

Longshadow you don't have to see a story, it's whatever you want or like. You can make your own interpretive story or just leave it alone. No pressure. There is no wrong or right, so you don't need to feel bad if you don't have a story that goes with the image. Your last thoughts of "This is where you'll wind up if you don't behave!" OR "This is where we get our fish from." tells me that you are a creative person or you wouldn't have thought those thoughts at all!!!

Thanks, always wondered about "stories". Same thing in LIT 101 & 102 - what was the writer trying to say?
(Darned if I know!)

Thus the third line in my signature.

Brent, a marvelous departure from your usual wonderful surfing photos. I think it tells a story; It is a loving mom sharing words of wisdom with her child. She may be saying that, like the advancing and receding tide, life will have its ups and downs that one experiences in life’s journey. Or she may point to those footprints in the sand and point out that,good or bad, large or small, we all leave our mark, on the world around us.

I like your line of "What was the photographer trying to say? Maybe he just liked what he saw..." .
I'm an artist first and a photographer second. Often times in my photography I'm drawn to a composition or image......perhaps a repetition of objects, whatever......the VISUAL is my main draw and not the "story". To me, the image I have shown here wants to have a story behind it. Maybe it's the figures turned away from the photographer that says something? Looking......pondering.....wondering........
I think in my case, your line of "What was the photographer trying to say? Maybe he just liked what he saw..." could be spot on!!!

Ooooh, absolutely lovely image!! And the story will be personal to each viewer. Or maybe it will be an emotion without words. You did your part by putting beauty out into the world; now the stories/feelings/appreciation will just ripple out from there . . .

It's a different sort of pic - well produced - it is easy for the viewer to imagine (s)he is there - in fact I thought I heard the sound of the sea.
PS - did you get your feet wet?
