23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
The Shape of Water
This abstract work captures the way light and water interact with each other. The image is made of the various ebbs and flows of the Potomac River and blends the cool, blue of the water with the warm, golden hues of light reflecting off it. The repeating patterns of color, light, and the waves create a hypnotic, dreamy scene.
