Considering how unconventionally high the horizon, with the bold silhouetted figure also placed in the upper half of the image, the rocks interfere with a phenomenal potential of a simple and powerful composition, which would be perfectly balanced without it.

The ferry, while compositionally redundant, makes for a fine metaphor as appears in the same pure white as the sand grounding the man, whose foot prints lead to anyone looking. The same can be said about the horizon intersecting with the subject's head: it actually aids the metaphor.

A wonderful image, really, full of sweet ache and tension, spanning several miles and then some: an easy favourite.

Interest patterns - maybe something to help give it a bit of perspective.

Nice and very appropriate for this challenge. The foot steps & the lonely figure really are moving. Ten
