Just as a setting sun turned the Pacific Ocean from green to gold, a young boy carrying a belly-board sprinted into my frame. His flying feet forced explosive bursts of water into the air, leaving a trail of glistening drops behind him. Meanwhile, a series of three waves surge towards him, creating a rhythmic matrix of horizontal lines that echo his dash through the edge of the surf. The image looked to me as if it came out of a dream. When I put this photograph through post-processing, I added a slight haze of grainy texture to the image, which intensifies the dreamy glow that gives this image its atmosphere and mood.
