About

An underwater action photograph captures a surfer diving beneath a powerful, cresting ocean wave. The surfer wears a white t-shirt and dark shorts, holding onto a white surfboard as turbulent turquoise water and white foam swirl around them. Natural sunlight filters down through the clear blue water above, illuminating the dynamic motion of the wave. The composition places the subject centrally within the sub-surface tumult, highlighting the raw energy of the marine environment. This piece was photographed by Nick Kelley.
