I enjoyed playing with the complimenting colours of blues and oranges in this composition. The foreground boat, held in suspension by its web of moorings, set the key hue of orange, tints of which are echoed in the silted estuary, as well as being scattered amongst the cottage roofs. Intermingling with the salmon red mud was the reflection of soft blues from a billowing sky. The deep tones of the overlying seaweed marked the way of the receding tide.
