23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
The Place Where Light Rests on the Shore

Taken on October 4, 2025, from the shore of Daecheon Beach, South Korea. The scene captures a moment when sunlight briefly broke through the clouds and rested upon the calm sea. I was drawn to the quiet beauty of the light, as if the ocean itself was holding its breath.
