A large morning cloud rises above Pelican Lagoon and almost repeats itself in the water.
Almost is important. The reflection is broken by slight changes across the surface, so the photograph never becomes a perfect exercise in symmetry. Land forms a thin dark hinge between the two halves.
The dominant blue gives the picture its stillness, while the cloud carries nearly all its physical weight. It feels less like a photograph of a lagoon than a temporary arrangement of cloud, water and light.
