The choice of earthy tones and a patterned beach complement the reflective water, blending the natural elements harmoniously. To the left, an aged tree stands stark against the sky, while lush greenery hints at the vibrant life that frames this coastal expanse.The background reveals a cloudy, yet dynamic sky, suggesting an impending change in weather that adds a dramatic touch to the otherwise peaceful setting.
