In the center of the frame is a woman in a light colored sundress and hat, her weight on her back foot, taking a snapshot toward the viewer, while behind her and to her side, dozens of men look up at the sky, facing the sun with cameras and binoculars. The sky is bright and the viewer cannot see what any spectator is looking at.
