Description

A dark-skinned man stands waist-deep in the ocean. He is wearing a multi-colored shirt with short sleeves, featuring a red graphic on the front, green left sleeve, and blue right sleeve. He is also wearing swim trunks. The water reflects the sky. The sky is light blue, transitioning to white near the horizon line. The camera captures the image at eye level. The sunlight is diffused, creating a soft, natural light on the scene. The man's reflection is partially visible in the water, adding depth to the composition.
