Charge, Mission Beach, California, 2015

These three boys are a bit older than the child in the previous photograph, but they display no less energy as they charge into a golden sea at sunset. I I had been concentrating my attention on the boy at upper left as he crashed through the surf. Suddenly this matched pair of silhouettes raced into my frame. I include all three figures, both near and far, to express energy through youthful body language.

It is no accident that the hours following sunrise and preceding sunset are usually referred to by photographers as "The Golden Hour." The sun hangs low in the sky, casts warm golden light, and creates powerful contrasts in light and shadow.
This picture offers a good example of this "golden time of day." Thanks, Iris, for this comment.
