Coralee Jurd, Floating by (ENTRIES CLOSED - MINIMALISM)

Captured whilst on a short holiday at Patonga, NSW, I was exploring the creek where it meets the ocean and was captivated by the millions of tiny holes and shallow burrows created by its inhabitants. A single blade of seagrass drifted above the rippled sandy seabed, the stark green standing out against the intricate patterns shaped by nature. The image captures a fleeting moment of simplicity, movement and quiet beauty beneath the water's surface. Technical Details: Canon EOS M50, 15-45mm @28mm, 1/125s @f4.5, ISO 160.
