A man alone on the wet bank of the creek. He rests softly on a hollow log with eyes forward, feet apart. His wide hat halts the advance of the midday sun from above, so it sneaks below by deflecting off the water. The man's reflection stares coolly up at him. It locks eyes with his as if to challenge him, and soon the pair appear lost in a contest of wills.
