Sunrise Walk in New Suffolk

I took this same walk a year ago and got some shots I really liked. This year, I felt pressure to capture new, equally interesting pictures. I left disappointed, feeling I hadn’t met my goal. When I finally went back to edit, I was surprised to find some photos that I liked. I realized I captured these during moments between the pressure. Overthinking led to underwhelming images - I just needed to react to what caught my eye.
