Clayton Cotterell, Photographer, Portland

Description

This photograph by Clayton Cotterell captures a surfer diving into choppy ocean waters, rendered with dynamic motion blur and splashing droplets surrounding the figure. The composition places the silhouetted figure vertically against a muted horizon and an expansive sky. Circular bokeh highlights drift in the foreground, adding depth and an ethereal quality to the marine scene. Natural light illuminates the water's surface, enhancing the raw and candid atmosphere of the moment.
