Description

A silhouette of a person surfing on a wave is captured from a low angle. The surfer stands atop the cresting wave with arms outstretched, silhouetted against the sky, while the ocean water sprays from the wave's peak. The sky suggests either sunrise or sunset, casting a warm light. The photograph emphasizes the power of the ocean and the athletic ability of the surfer.
