This black-and-white photograph was taken on the beach in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka. The image shows a group of palm trees, with only the sky behind them. The lack of colour brings out the shape of the trees clearly. The thin trunks and flaring leaves are sharply outlined against the light sky. The contrasts in the image are soft, yet give a clear distinction between the dark silhouettes of the palm trees and the lighter background.
The composition is simple, with only the trees and sky in focus. This creates a graphic effect, looking mainly at lines, shapes and repetition. The use of black and white colour gives the photo a calm and timeless look. There are no distracting elements; the focus remains entirely on the trees.
The atmosphere in the photo is calm and natural. Although the sea is not visible, it is clear that the photo was taken on the coast. The position of the trees and the open nature of the sky give a sense of space.
This photo fits with subjects like nature, minimalist landscape and the coast of Sri Lanka.
