Red Buoy In Fog



One kind of image I’ve always been partial to is “a little bit of something in a lot of nothing.” This one is an example of a corollary, “a little bit of color in a lot of non-color.”
You can practice looking for situations like this and thy it out with your own photos… a little bit of something in a lot of nothing… a little bit of color in a lot of no color…. a little bit of one color in a lot of another color.
To paraphrase George Zimmer, you’re going to like the way it looks; I guarantee it.
Full disclosure: I took this photo back in January - there isn't a lot of fog in our area this time of the year.

Very nice, Steve! It's interesting how the shape of the buoy is almost duplicated by the rig in the background. I like how you can still see faint traces of color (blue and yellow) on the background.
