Luheng relaxing on coastal clifftop overlooking the deep blue sea

In the image, Luheng is seated calmly atop a rocky knoll, with an incredible view of a water body in deep blue colors. The background shows a far-off shoreline with soft, sun-bathed cliffs and the indistinct shapes of boats or perhaps white marks on the water, implying a coastal or island scene on a day that was radiant and sunny, a long time ago. The ocean lies open all the way to the horizon, leaving a natural division between the rugged ochre and brown hues of the rocks and the cool blues of the water.
Luheng is wearing light, plain clothes — appropriate for the climate and the earth-tone landscape. He has a cream/beige cardigan draped on his top in soft grey and he is wearing light colored trousers which look a bit cropped at the bottom. The shoes are loose and casual, and the color neutral so as not to overpower the outfit or the mood. Sunglasses cover his eyes, lending as much usefulness as they do an air of detached, thoughtful ambiance to the image.
With one knee up, and one foot going down the rocks, he looks look relaxed, but you get the sense he is taking in the views on the rest or is stopping to rest in a busy glimpse view. The lighting is golden and warm, the rock and clothing textured further by the shadow play. Overall, the image evokes a sense of stillness, reflection and an almost symbiotic relationship between the person and the seascape.
