The Infinite Line (Open Edition)

The Story

A shallow depth-of-field shot looking down a wooden pier railing, with one Ring-billed Gull in sharp focus in the foreground and a long line of blurred gulls extending into the background.

The Location

Captured on the boardwalk in Solomons Island, MD. The Patuxent River is in the background.

Artist's Perspective

"I shot this at a long focal length looking straight down the pier railing, using the shallow depth of field to create a rhythm of sharp and soft. The one gull in focus looking back at you — that's the moment that makes the composition work." — Ryan Lott

The horizontal orientation (landscape cut) makes this piece well-suited for living rooms, offices, and above fireplaces. Available as a fine art paper print or archival-quality framed canvas in white or black. Particularly well-suited for medical and wellness spaces seeking calming, contemplative imagery.
