A man stands waist-deep in shallow, clear water, holding a small child in his arms. He is wearing a dark shirt, white shorts, and a baseball cap. The child is wearing a light-colored outfit. The man is waving with his free hand. Behind them, at low tide, a rocky shoreline is exposed, with patches of green vegetation. The ocean is visible in the background, with small waves breaking. A section of a rope railing is visible in the foreground. The overall setting appears to be a tropical beach.
