Surfer carving sunrise wave, side view

Tags
In a wide 3:2 frame, water-level sports photography of a surfer in her late 20s carving a wave at sunrise, captured from a side tracking view with spray exploding behind the board. Use panning so the surfer and board remain crisp while the ocean surface and shoreline smear into lateral streaks, with elongated water spray trails. Keep the sky clean with minimal bright points and a soft gradient behind the subject for readability. Warm amber sunrise rim light with cool teal water shadows, subtle film grain, realistic droplets.
