A surfer in a black wetsuit rides a wave, his surfboard almost vertical as he carves through the crest. The wave is a powerful barrel, with foamy white water swirling around the surfer. The ocean is a deep blue, with whitecaps breaking around the surfer. The image is taken from a low angle, giving a sense of speed and movement. The composition is dynamic, with the surfer at the center of the action. The lighting is dramatic, with the sun casting long shadows on the water.
