A close-up of a reed plume set against a heavily blurred background, swaying in the wind. The image is rendered in sepia tones, using a range of warm browns, creams, and deep chocolates. The soft blurring ensures the viewer's eye stays fixed on the delicate structure of the reed.

Tall, feathery stalks of ornamental grass, backlit by a bright, low-hanging sun. The sun is positioned directly behind the grass, creating a "rim lighting" effect that makes the edges of the plumes glow intensely. A soft, warm lens flare emanates from the sun, casting a rosy-pink and golden hue across the top of the frame. There is a striking contrast between the warm, golden-white tones of the illuminated grass and the cool, pale blue of the wintery sky.

Fairly calm waters at the beach. The ocean has very small rolling waves of light blue, gray and deeper blue in a couple of spots. The surface also has a silvery metallic sheen, reflecting the light. There is white foam and little splashes throwing drops up at the tops of the small wavelets. The splashes show a little sunlight shining on the tops. Further out on the water, the waves are rolling in straight toward us, but the nearest couple of waves are rolling in left to right in a slightly odd looking mix of wave directions.

The reflection of a bare tree in a body of water, capturing a moment where nature looks almost like a painted canvas. The base of the tree trunk appears at the top of the frame, and the crown of the tree extends downward toward the bottom. The horizontal ripples across the water act like brushstrokes, breaking up the solid form of the tree.

This image captures a tranquil coastal scene in the afternoon. A solitary figure stands on a rocky shoreline, silhouetted against the calm sea. The person, dressed in a jacket and trousers, is looking down, possibly observing the waves gently lapping at the shore. The sky is adorned with scattered clouds, and streaks of sunlight pierce through, casting a shimmering glow on the water's surface. In the distance, the faint outline of land is visible, adding depth to the serene seascape.

A mostly silvery gray and slightly blue and green image of rolling waves under a flat hazy sky. This scene is backlit by bright hazy sunshine, making sparkles in the water and also shadows on the waves’ fronts. There are small white rolling waves in the foreground, with a little bit of blue green waters and white foam around them. Further back a bigger curling wave is crashing and sending curved streamers of white spray up and back, white sunlit clouds of droplets obscuring the hazy horizon seen behind them. The whole image is light and hazy and kind of washed out, but showing sharp detail on the wave splashes.

Reflection of trees in a body of water. The reflections create strong lines and curves, distorted and wavy due to the water's surface.
