This is a photograph by Willamain Somma. The subject of the picture is that woman wading in the water in what appears to be a raincoat. In the distance, we can see, but not quite make out, a dark area on the water. Is this where she's going? What is it? Did she lose a bet or something? I love pictures that include water, and I like the fog in this picture a lot. It makes the photo look a bit bleak, but I also think the there's something tongue-in-cheek about this determined woman just wading along in her yellow raincoat. At any rate, the yellow adds a lot of visual interest to a photograph which would not otherwise be very colorful.

I couldn't find the title of this picture, but the photographer's name is Andy Morley-Hall. Naturally the most obvious part of the photograph is the woman standing on the metal rod. It certainly begs the question; "what is she doing?" In and of itself, I find that part interesting. However, that's not the part of the picture I like the most. As I said, I really like pictures of water, and there's plenty of that here. It looks very serene out on the bay, like the sort of time swimming would be a lot of fun, and the lights onshore can be seen reflected off the water, a touch I really like. Finally, I like the way she is all black and we can't see anything other than her outline against the sea and sky. The color contrast is very appealing to me.
