The sun finds the water through the understory. Everything becomes halation and wet green and the smell of tidal mud — a sensory overload reduced to a single frame. The lens flare is not a flaw; it is the photograph being honest about what it was like to be there. Writer Annie Dillard worked on this island. She would understand this image — the way it refuses to be only beautiful and insists on being overwhelming.
