The image is a black and white photograph of a man standing on the deck of a ship. He is holding a rope and appears to be working on the railing of the ship. The man is wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and shoes, and is holding onto the railing with both hands. The railing is made of metal and has a few electrical wires and cables attached to it. The background is dark, and the sky is visible in the top right corner of the image. The image is taken from a low angle, looking up at the man and the railing.
