This photo shows a group of people on a beach, pulling a large fishing net. The sky is dramatic—dark clouds on one side, bright light on the other. The water is choppy, and the sand looks wet and rough. The way the light hits the clouds makes the scene feel tense, like a storm is coming. The people are working together, focused on their task. If you like this kind of scene, look up Realism.
