| Not sure about the name of the work or the year it was taken, but I believe it was taken around the same time as The Great Wave and View of the Sea: The Brig |

| The Great Wave - `1856 |

| View of the Sea: The Brig - 1856 |
What interests me about the work of Gustave Le Gray: I really like images of nature, so I liked these because they were taken of the ocean, I also really like the fact that he was the first photographer to figure out how to take a picture of the sea and the sky at the same time using the technique of combination printing. As far the the individual pictures go, I like the first one because of the way the sky is coming through the clouds on the individual ship, it's beautiful and has great composition. The second has kind of a more ominous feel to it with the Jetty sticking out, and the light being in the middle, with dark clouds to the sides. I also like the individual wave breaking in the foreground, overall, it's a very interesting picture. For the third, I mainly like the isolation of the tiny ship in the backdrop of a gigantic ocean and wide open, bright sky.
