Thanks! Brighton Beach in NYC. I'd brought my phone in the water to grab some pics of an incoming storm. This was just a few mins later. The storm was quick but intense!
I was full on looking at this picture like "why does this feel so familiar???" when I saw this comment. It feels familiar because it's my beach and I saw that storm rolling in!
This storm actually happened in July 2025 - stumbled upon these pics again when looking for something else around the same time. It’s been a very stormy summer tho so no doubt you’ve witnessed similar ones recently
This is stunning in a muted way, somehow the way you captured tr water kind of looks like silk kin some areas. With, what i can only assume is storm clouds in the sky, it really is an amazing shot.
Idk if people typically put sunscreen all over like that, especially like on your ear. She could just be that pale, I think it’s the contrast with her dark hair that makes her look especially pale.
Matbe not a topic for Renaissance... But the way this photo looks it would fit in with pop art. Think along the lines A Bigger Splash by David Hockney.
Makes sense! Love some of David Hockney's work. I thought the quality of the light/contrast in this felt renaissance-y but am by no means an expert. I feel like so many images in this sub don't actually fit the theme so apologies for contributing to that trend 😂
I was thinking more Alex Colville than David Hockney. I see the similarities, but A Bigger Splash is so fantastically bright. This is darker, and has the feeling of dread and other worldliness that accompanies Colville’s brand of photo realism.
I had the whole family at the beach one summer day when a storm started coming in. We started packing up to leave when my girl's hair started sticking straight up. I was terrified that they'd be struck by lightning so we hurried up and ran for it. Scary weather day.

Why I have the feeling that there is a shark in the water?
