Two fisherman on the beach at the edge of the surf – California Pacific Ocean coast between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay. The abstract shapes in this scene interested me, especially the curving shapes of the reflections on the wet areas of the beach in the foreground.

This is one of those landscape photographs in which appearances can be deceiving. I suppose it looks fairly calm and quiet, but getting this shot was the result of working very quickly and spontaneously with a very long lens as the subjects moved quickly through the scene. I had just gotten out of my car with a plan to observe and then photograph the seascape when I noticed the group of fisherman heading across the sand toward a rocky headland to the south.
