Water, Sands, City, and the Sky, by Anubhav Jain

Although the Copacabana is the most famous beach in Rio de Janeiro, a short drive away is the equally beautiful and less crowded Tijuca Beach. This moment captures the water, sands, city, and sky coming together, and a human figure walking along the line of convergence. I timed this shot carefully, but was still lucky to get it!
