I like the effect of the picture dividing into 3 zones: shadow detail, highlight details, and no detail. I'd like to run it through a bunch of blurring filters and see how it would look asthe basis for an "abstract" piece...

Seems over sharpened, the water is very rigid, and the man&dog get lost in the sand.

Nice idea, but I think it would have been even better as a photo if you'd moved closer to the main subjects so you could avoid placing all the other people in the foreground. I didn't realize at first, but the actual horizon (the ocean) is crooked, while the perceptual horizon is straight. It didn't bother me until I realized it, but it's not very noticeable. I like the idea of these guys as silhouettes, but I'm not sure if you'd be able to tell what they're doing if you went that far. Maybe if you just brought up the levels over all -- the sand and ocean are pretty dark.

I like the way the guys are silhouetted against the water. A bit of post processing would have made this photo a lot cooler.

This photo could've been SO much stronger could you have cropped out the people in the front. move to the left and zoom in a bit. With all th foreground mess it seems very poorly composed.
