The image of a man standing in the surf with a fishing pole is not, in itself, an expressive photograph. Most of the time, it would be simply a description of an activity. Yet at seven o’clock on a late summer evening, the water in which he stands reflects the sunset and turns the sea into pool of golden textures. The mood and atmosphere here make it an expressive scene. We can only wonder what he may be seeing, as he casts for fish.
