Description

A silhouetted surfer stands atop a surfboard on a breaking ocean wave, captured against bright natural daylight. Backlit spray explodes into fine droplets across the frame, creating high contrast against the darker water surface. Foreground waves feature rolling foam and deep blue and grey tones. The composition highlights the dynamic action of surfing under bright coastal skies. The photograph was taken by Sam Kweskin.
