Description

A woman in a black swimsuit dives into the ocean. She is captured mid-air, body stretched out horizontally, arms extended forward, and legs straight back. The dive is taking place off the side of a weathered boat, with a coiled rope and an old tire visible on the boat's structure. The sea is calm with a slight rippling texture, reflecting the hazy light. In the background are limestone karsts jutting out of the water, shrouded in mist. The sky is overcast, contributing to the overall muted color palette. The sun is visible through the haze. The photograph is taken at eye level.
