Litter or art?
I've been starting to document examples of litter that I find around the world. Iceland is very clean and the beaches are mostly litter free. While exploring the beach by Vestrahorn mountain on the Stokksnes Penninsula I saw this fishing net that had been washed ashore. It added a bright touch of colour to the scene. A sand dune was starting to build up around the nets and its colourful floats. I used a wide angle lens to get up close for foreground interest in the image. Is it litter or is it art, or maybe both?

on April 2, 2019I agree with Elizabeth - it's someone's lost equipment that is indeed a serendipitous piece of colorful art. I like the comp a LOT!!!

on April 2, 2019Well, unfortunately, it classifies as "litter," but your capture makes even the debris appear artistic in nature!
