Nude: Honorable Mention 2016 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Captured on Normandy beach in France during a low tide, this is a straight image shot on Nikon digital camera without digital manipulation (except for the final editing/printing process). The eery landscape with the nude in the foreground, the sea without water and the boat on its side evokes for me the uncertainty surrounding climate change and what the future might hold for us, as humans on this planet.
