The ground is wet and reflective, with scattered patches of sand and shallow water, mirroring the sky filled with soft clouds and warm golden light. In the foreground, one person on the left wears a light floral-patterned top with sleeves, with hair tied back, while the person on the right wears a sleeveless dark top with short hair. Both figures are shown from behind, looking out toward the horizon.
