This photo was taken on the ferry from the mainland to the island of Texel in the Netherlands. The ferry ride only takes about 20 minutes and I actually didn't want to take my camera out of the trunk for such a short time.
In front of the large windows, two sisters were excitedly fooling around in anticipation of their vacation. Unfortunately, they were fooling around the whole time and I couldn't get a good shot. Suddenly the older one moved away from the windows and left the smaller one behind. She was obviously very fascinated by the white foam that the ferry left on the water and paused for a moment. This was the exact moment for my shot, additionally all things came together at this moment, when the country completely disappeared into the background. I absolutely love the position of her hand, it's enchanting in my eyes and so the picture leaves the feeling of longing.
Sometimes you have to work hard on a scene, that all things come together. It takes a bit of patience, work and thought to capture a moment in the best possible way.
