A Wabi-Sabi inspired macro photograph that explores the intricate beauty of the exposed reef flat on Pulau Panjang, Central Java, during a low tide in the late afternoon. The warm, golden light rakes across the weathered coral limestone, revealing a complex tapestry of texturesâfrom the porous, pockmarked surfaces of ancient coral skeletons to the slick, green algae in tidal crevices. A small tide pool perfectly reflects the warm, glowing sky, acting as a focal point within the beautifully imperfect landscape.This image was captured with a medium format Fujifilm GFX system and a macro lens, using focus stacking to achieve extraordinary detail and sharpness throughout the frame. It tells a story of time, tide, and decay, finding profound beauty in the natural, unadorned details of the marine ecosystem, a perspective often overlooked in traditional landscape photography.
