A black-and-white photograph depicts five boys with light skin tones at a waterfront. In the foreground, one boy stands atop a gravel-filled barge on our left, waving his arm. Four other boys in swim trunks dive toward the water on our right, their bodies forming a diagonal line mid-air. In the hazy distance, smokestacks with smoke and industrial cranes line the horizon. The composition follows the figures from upper left to lower right.
