For this image, I was inspired by the concept of water and how it interacts and reacts to other forces. Water is very versatile, but I liked the idea of photographing it on a larger scale, as in a larger body of water such as the one depicted. When I was shooting in the Baylands Nature Preserve, I loved the way the ripples caused by the ducks interacted with and bounced off each other. In my final image, I was able to capture large ripples coming off of one duck along with less prominent ripples from other ducks and objects. The added reflection of the sunset on the water’s surface makes the ripples more visible, and the overall image illustrates the concept of the ripple effect of differing forces upon each other.
