A surfer walks towards the sea across a wet rock platform, surfboard tucked beneath one arm.
Hard morning light places the figure in silhouette and throws reflections across the pools and wet stone. The sun itself sits high in the frame, producing flare and making the brightness part of the photograph rather than something to be controlled or hidden.
Again, it is a photograph of the approach rather than the ride. The figure seems to be moving from the dark foreground towards the bright ocean, which gives a very ordinary surfing ritual a strong visual structure.
