The image is a black and white photograph of the bow of a sailboat. The boat is sailing on the ocean, with the horizon visible in the background. The water is choppy and turbulent, with small waves crashing against the shore. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber.

In the foreground, there is a large metal pole with a rope and other rigging attached to it. On the right side of the pole, there are several ropes and cables, and on the left side, there appears to be a small boat with a white hull. In the center of the photo, a large shark can be seen swimming in the water. The shark is partially visible, with its mouth open and its fins spread out. The image appears to have been taken from the bow, looking out towards the horizon.
