I absolutely love this image. I love the soft color blue and how it matches the ocean. The sheer veil and the shape it makes in the wind. It hovers just above the grass there. I love green and landscape images, especially with the ocean like this. The rows of crops makes a nice pattern as well. I also love his other images, for example, there is one taken of mountains with a railing that gave a nice squiggly design, one of a girl with her back facing the camera, again with nice straight patterns of something industrial in front of her. Then another of on a boat looking out into the ocean, with the shape half crescent shape of part of the boat dead center. I just feel like there are all these patterns and shapes that he really focuses on. As well as land and sea, or human (industrial) and nature contrast. His images are just really stunning.
