Monochrome Seascape: Rocky Arch Silence

Ultra-realistic black-and-white seascape. A serene coastline dominated by dramatic rocky arch formations rising from a calm sea. Foreground features smooth, wet pebbles and shallow tidal pools reflecting a soft, diffuse sky. Midground shows imposing limestone arches with rugged textures and subtle spray where waves meet rock. Background reveals a distant horizon under an overcast sky with gentle cloud streaks. Moody, high-contrast lighting creates deep blacks in the rocks and bright whites in the foam; a subtle film grain adds a timeless mood. Perspective is low-angle with a wide lens (approximately 24–35mm), using a slight long exposure to smooth the water. Composition emphasizes leading lines along the arch curves toward the horizon, with a restrained vignette and careful tonal balance in monochrome.
