Surrounded by the Sea

Description

Before heading Gateway National Park to shoot birds, I stopped at an ocean facing beach to take advantage of the predawn light. After some waiting on this rock, I finally got a decent wave.

This shot is full of mystery and the light and the almost fog like approach of the wave add to this. Also the strange shape of the rock could be interpreted as a face if you think of the wide whole as a mouth and the part to the right tightly closed eyes. Almost as if the face of the earth is coming through as water meets sand. Who can tell though why this 'face' appears so anguished. The framing certainly makes the rock seem like a focal point which leads me to the face interpretation. Over all mystery is the key word which suits this picture.
