Image shows a close up of an ocean wave, with the camera pointing through the wave's shape. The colors are bright aquamarine blue, white where the water splashes, and deep blue where the water gathers. The lighting is tinted blue and moody, with the light illuminating the underside of the wave and the spray of the water. In the frame behind the wave, there is a dark background with the surface of the water illuminated.
