I so love that a couple of friends 'got it' on this shot from my last post. I almost titled it 'Three Gulls'. Look closely, stay with me...
There is so much motion. So much going on. Not tooting my own, but what a story here if you just let your eyes wander. And the people! I've long held, after years of static landscape photography that was technically fine but lacking emotion, that only images of people connect with viewers.
I also have the opinion that by and large B/W images are the most effective. And that's still the case, most of the time, for me anyway.
But this, total serendipity, takes any viewer on a journey. Likely a familiar one. And that's what matters. That's what makes a photograph successful.
