A surfer rides a large wave, while a bright rainbow forms behind it. “He looks like he's having the best time of his life,” says Bachellereau. “In this image, the clear blue water is showing off the natural beauty of the ocean. This picture captures the joy and excitement of surfing, highlighting the special bond between the surfer and the sea in a moment of pure happiness.”
