Wave

The early morning start on the beach to photograph the 'Pink Moon' - also a Supermoon - quickly fizzled out as it began to set. I wanted some foreground interest to be included to give a sense of scale, but as the moon dropped towards the horizon it turned into an indistinct pale blur.

But instead of admitting defeat I scanned the shoreline in the hope of finding another subject to photograph, and noticed that breaking waves were catching the sun's rays. Initially shooting into the light I quickly decided nothing was working, but once I turned and had the sun to my back things started to get interesting.
