In this photograph, Dennis Stock captures a young woman as the focus of this shot with her back facing the viewer. I found this a very interesting choice by Stock because the subject of the photograph was put in dialogue with her audience on the beach, rather than us, the viewers. This apprasial of this women by both the members on the beach and the viewers, put her in an immediate position of power and strength in the photo. The womans body acts as the dominant vertical line in this scene and is complimented by sea of beach goers that provide the hazy, horizontal focus.
