EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a beach goer stands on the dunes, capturing the awe-inspiring storm surf just one day before Hurricane Irene makes landfall in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina. The image perfectly encapsulates the raw power and beauty of nature as it prepares to unleash its fury upon the eastern seaboard. The photographer's perspective from behind adds an intriguing element of mystery, allowing us to imagine ourselves in their shoes - witnessing this incredible spectacle firsthand. With the grassy dunes serving as a foreground and the vast expanse of sky above, there is a sense of scale that highlights both our insignificance in comparison to nature's might and our deep connection with it. The vibrant orange hues dominating the landscape create an atmosphere charged with anticipation. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost feel the electricity in the air and hear the crashing waves echoing through our minds. This image serves as a reminder of how small we are in relation to Mother Nature's forces but also showcases humanity's fascination with capturing these moments for posterity. It is a testament to our innate desire to document and understand such phenomena while respecting their immense power. Steve Nesius masterfully captures not only a stunning visual composition but also evokes emotions tied to wonderment and respect for nature's grandeur.
