I captured this image of an unknown woman on the beach last night because I was moved by the complexity and apparent conflicts in the scene. On the one hand there is the beach, the sun and the surfers in the distance having fun in the waves. On the other there is the woman with the black hoodie pulled low, her downward stare and the dark clouds overhead. I purposely gave the shot a simple title so that you can imagine for yourself what she might be feeling, and what side wins the conflict.
