ENTRY DESCRIPTION
A strong wind tears at the sails of a solitary yacht, the ocean rages wildly, and above the cliff, wind-blown clouds form a surreal face, almost like a guardian angel watching over the yacht’s crew. This scene captivated me completely. The surreal angel seemed to guide me as well - I barely had time to hurriedly compose the shot, quickly choose the right filter, and capture the drama unfolding before me. It lasted but a moment - one fleeting shot, and the yacht disappeared behind the cliff.
