Three surfers walk separately but together across the rock platform at Werri Beach.
Backlighting reduces the figures and their boards to dark shapes against a bright sky. Reflections remain in the wet foreground, while the three figures establish an almost measured rhythm across the frame.
What interests me most here is not surfing action but transition. They have not yet entered the water. The photograph catches that familiar interval between land and sea, when boards are still being carried and attention has already shifted towards what is happening beyond the rocks.
