In front of him, a fishing rod rests against the dock's railing. Another man (mostly obscured) sits behind him. The rail stretches along the back side of the pier, where another man at right sits. His back is to camera as he looks over the pier's edge. Wood beams and netting sit on the pier near the lower right corner. The harbor's waters extend to the left and into the distance.
