I chose this photo because I like natural photography. I actually lived in Oregon for a summer and loved going to the Oregon coast to see the sealions and so this image of the Oregon coast touched a nerve with me. I think the world is the canvas and paint that we have to work with in natural photography which is altogether interesting. One is in a sense letting go of control because one cannot completely control the environment one is photographing. One in a sense has to wait for the right moment to snap the shot in natural photography while still having the patience coupled with a keen eye. I think the lack of control within natural photography is most appealing to me, though.
