Three people float on their backs in clear, shallow sea water, photographed from above. The seabed shows through as dark patches of weed and rippled light, and a rocky outcrop fills the lower right corner. The nearest figure at lower left wears a light shirt and dark shorts with arms spread wide, while the other two lie farther off, one with arms stretched overhead.
