6. Beyond the horizon [Simplify]

This comes in as a special request from a close friend. Only 5 editions of each size will be available.

I remember standing at the edge of that lake, camera pressed gently to my face, the air heavy with the scent of wet earth and the quiet hum of nature. The scene before me was deceptively simple-a single, weathered stump rising from a sea of golden reflections, framed by the delicate, reaching arms of submerged branches. But capturing its spirit was anything but straightforward.
I moved slowly, almost reverently, inch by inch along the shoreline. Each step changed the relationship between the branches and the stump, the way the light played across the water, and the sense of space in the frame. Sometimes I’d crouch low, sometimes I’d stand tall, peering through the viewfinder, reframing again and again. The branches in the foreground became both a challenge and a gift-at times threatening to distract, at others offering the perfect natural frame to draw the eye toward the resilient stump at the center.
Patience became my guide. I waited for the moment when the composition felt just right: the stump isolated, yet embraced by the blurred, almost painterly branches, the yellow water behind it glowing like a backdrop in a dream. In that instant, everything came together-the story of survival, the beauty of stillness, and the subtle tension between chaos and calm. I pressed the shutter, knowing I’d captured not just a photograph, but a memory of perseverance, both the lake’s and my own.
