Nice composition but the tint/color seems off a bit. The harsh shadows are distracting. Wish you well in the challenge.

It's a shame the shadow hides the rest of an otherwise expressive grin. The color is a bit over-the-top, may have benefited from unsaturation in post processing.

I like the color of the shirt against the blue sky and water, and also like his placement in the shot. :) However, there are some things that would have made me vote this shot higher. First off, I would have shot this within an hour of sunrise or sunset (probably sunset) in order to cut out the harsh shadows and also add some spectacular colors to the sky and reflection off the water. Being that the subject would likely be back-lit in that case, I would use a soft flash to illuminate the subject of the photo (maybe even using a piece of white foamcore off to the side to bounce light as well). Lastly, I would make sure that the horizon is perfectly level. Many DPC'ers are notorious for voting down shots for that. However, great idea for a shot and hopefully one of my tips might be useful. :) Take them with a grain of sand though. ;)

You found this guy on the beach? I found a guy that looks just like this on a beach too!

Something about the colors appeals to me.. the horizon should be straightened. I like this for some reason, otherwise.
