Good start, Mission Beach, California, 2015

About a minute after I made the previous image of a pelican flying over this surfer, she found that wave that she had been waiting for. I caught her as she attempting to ride it – she is still on her knees, but will soon stand on the board and enjoy the journey. The key to this image is her expression – her face is a study in intensity and tension as she tries to scramble to her feet upon the moving board.

Thanks, Iris. Yes, my shutter release finds a moment in time that tells the story through both her position on the wave and the expression on her face.
