The skater, Mission Beach, California, 2015

A lone boardwalk skater glides past a beach entrance chopped out of the walk’s well-worn wall. Signs banning smokers, drinkers, and glass bottles repeat their message both behind and in front of him. His vertical figure plays against a series of horizontals -- a double yellow traffic line, the wall, beach, and even a line of tiny birds perched at waters edge. Meanwhile, the distant incoming surf and the overhead clouds help propel him through the image.

Love the "aaah," Tim. The gap, the stride, the look -- it all comes together in 1/400th of a second here. Thanks for the comment.

The composition here just settles into my chest with an aaaah. He is so finely placed in the gap in the wall.
