About

This vertical photographic composition captures a brilliant golden sun positioned directly above the crest of a dark, rolling ocean wave at dusk. The warm orange and red hues of the sunset sky dominate the upper half of the frame, casting a fiery glow over the choppy sea. In the middle ground, the faint silhouettes of surfers are visible bobbing in the dark water near the breaking surf. The natural lighting highlights the motion of the water and the stark contrast between the bright solar disc and the darkening ocean. Photographed by Nick Simonite.
