 Sometimes good pictures happen by mistake. I stopped along the side of the beach road to watch an amazing flock of birds one morning. So did other people, including this unknown woman. While I was photographing the birds, I ended up getting her in a couple of shots by mistake, as she stopped and turned as I was clicking the shutter.

I think having her there, looking at that sky, really works, don't you? I wish I could thank her.

  1. Waves, birds, sky...and yes, and your unknown friend focuses it all.

  2. I agree, having her there, looking off in the distance, makes the photo. The right place, the right time and knowing it. Good job.

  7. No mistake at all: She was meant to be there, at that moment. I'm in total agreement with everyone else: she gives the shot perspective. Without her, it would be a beach shot. With her, there's a story we all wish we could learn more about. Awesomely thought-provoking, and a totally unique take on the theme.
