About this work

This photo shows three people walking along a beach at sunset. The sky and water glow bright, almost blinding, while the figures in the foreground are dark and small. Behind them, the waves and sand fade into soft light. The way the light hits the water makes everything look flat and dreamy. The people seem tiny against the huge, glowing sea. Check out *chiaroscuro* for how this play of light and dark works.
