Gary Luhm created this digital composite image of Sean Watson surfing First Beach by “moving the kayaker and his wave to an interesting background that includes the distant sea stacks of First and Second beaches.” Shooting Washington’s annual La Push Pummel in February 2012, Luhm and his surfer subjects waited for huge 23-foot seas to subside to a more manageable eight- to 10-foot swell. “I enjoy creating believable composites,” he says, “they’re limited only by one’s imagination.”
