The simplicity of this thatched shack perched on the rocks right on the ocean gives this shot a special focal point. I relaxed under there, and listened to the sound of the ocean, watching this magical sunset. I knew this shot would be majestic but waited for days for the right light. Sunny blue skies just didn’t provide the mood I was chasing. Eventually, five days later, a weather change rolled in. I took a series of shots right on sunset, but as the sun set, the light improved. A long exposure gives the shot a dreamy feel, soaking up all the colors and textures of the ocean.

I’ve stared at this image for five minutes and it doesn’t get old—that little shack actually makes you feel the wind and hear the waves. It’s now the calming screensaver on my work computer.

The bench under that thatched roof looks so real I half-expected sand in my shoes when I touched the print. The soft grays of the ocean and the shack's rough texture pull you right into the scene. My living room finally has the calm spot I've been chasing.

I printed this at 24x36 and the thatched-roof texture still looks razor sharp. It's one of those rare shots where the shack doesn't just sit in the frame but pulls you in, like you can hear the waves crashing under the rocks.
