Description

A commercial fisherman wearing an orange waterproof suit stands on the deck of a boat, bracing against the force of ocean waves. The choppy water is a mix of dark blue and white, and it crashes onto the metal platform of the boat. The boat's equipment is visible, including a wheel and a trailer, which adds to the functional, working atmosphere. The lighting is overcast, typical of a day at sea, and the sky is a matching grey. The image conveys the intensity and ruggedness of maritime labor.
