When I took this photo, I was on the pier at the beach. I had just gone to the pier with my family for a day trip. We were just walking around and I had noticed that if you were to look down, you could see the ocean between the cracks of the boards. It was very nice to see that you could have the natural beauty of the ocean just underneath your feet. My photograph relates to the contest’s theme, “Investigation”, because, everyone tries to look for nature's beauty all the time, but you never realize that it could actually be underneath your feet. I like to always investigate the natural beauty in everything, this shows that if you look in the most random of places, you can always find beauty in everything. You never actually know what could be underneath your feet until you really look and investigate. I haven’t edited the photo with anything including software.
