Bloom
Winner in The Nysea Clifbar 2020 ColdShot Challenge - Empty Wave Category
This image was fortunate enough to be take home a first place in a Cold Water winter based surf photographers photo contest over the winter of 2020 that takes place from January through March and only allows entires from cold regions on the east coast and the great lakes.
Bloom was taken in the later part of March right on the cusp of winter and spring when one can start to get the desire to see warmer spring colors emerge after a winters chill. The photograph occurred during a sunrise that filled the sky with yellow and orange that got engulfed amongst the curl of the wave.
This image was captured using a slower shutter speed that allows for the motion to to be captured and brought out in the details that pull you into the scene.
Bloom is available has a limited edition fine art wave photography print and looks great printed on all mediums offered such as the standard photo paper, the Canson Photoqraphique Cotton Fine Art Paper, as a stunning aluminum wall art print and presented as a face mounted acrylic wall art.
The traditional photo paper captures all the details and colors add the gloss coating to make it shine and stand out. When presented the paper print of Bloom looks great with a classic plain white or drift wood frame to really give your new wave art photography print a complete wall art feel.
When Bloom is printed on a cotton fine art paper the pureness of the cotton fiber just make the colors explode with vibrancy and detail. The texture of the Canson Photographique paper really makes the water come to life by adding a sense of feel and depth to your fine art ocean photography print.
Bloom being presented as aluminum wall art everything just comes together to look spectacular. This is where things come to life with almost a 3d look and feel. The colors really stand out with excellent contrast and vibrancy, the yellows, orange, and blues just pop with rich detail. I recommend the mid gloss finish for this image to really give it that extra wow to your limited edition fine art wave photography print.
The aluminum acrylic face mounted gives you all the benefits of the aluminum print but the acrylic mounted in front will give the print depth and dimension. This added interest of dimension makes the image feel like it is floating or has more life to it especially with the details in the waves water in Bloom contrasting with the blue skies this option makes a nice limited edition fine art print.
Available recommended sizes range from a convenient 12x18 to a real statement size of a print 48x72 (contact to order this size).
