An image of a stargazer, leaning back in a chair, staring up at the sky. The image is shot in an extreme wide: the stargazer looks tiny compared to the bright, colorful and mostly pink sky, and the vast expanse of water that surrounds them. The stars are visible in a long stretch above the stargazer's head.
