The image, taken on August 5,2016, showcases the anticipation and excitement building up ahead of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. As dawn breaks over Rio de Janeiro, casting an ethereal glow across the horizon, we are drawn to the silhouette of this courageous athlete against a backdrop painted with hues of orange and gold. The surfer's profile is highlighted by the soft light that filters through his figure, creating an impressionistic effect that adds depth and mystery to this breathtaking scene.
