Category: 25 Water
Queensland, Australia
The perfect jewelled colours of the ocean on a balmy day at Hervey Bay inspired me to capture this abstract image. A soft wind skimmed the surface of the water, creating an almost imperceptible ripple. I snatched the shot, and my subject rolled on into infinity.
The jewel-toned blues in this print are even more striking in person than on screen — it genuinely looks like the water is shimmering. I hung it above my desk and catch myself zoning out into those soft swirls when I need a mental break.
I’ve been staring at this print every day since it arrived, and the way the light catches those jewelled ocean tones genuinely makes my living room feel calmer. You can almost see the soft wind rippling across the surface, just like the description says.
The abstract shimmer really captures that jewelled, sun-dappled look Hervey Bay is known for—it's like having a slice of the bay on my wall. The way the soft wind ripples come through in the image makes me feel like I'm back there on a quiet afternoon.
