Mastery, Imperial Beach, California, 2014

I froze the eloquent body language of this surfer at a shutter speed of one-four thousandth of a second. It shows us that he is in complete control of his ride over the waves. Adding to his mastery of the sport is his flamboyant appearance – his entire body is covered with ornate tattoos. The blend of skill and decoration makes a memorable image when frozen in time.

Thanks, Iris, for appreciating the reasons I valued this image. We can appreciate all of them when we see them stopped within one-four thousandth of a second.
