I guess the group of birds as interest to the image. I'm trying to 'feel' the shot... but not getting much other than a random guy on a beach in the morning looking for metal. If that's all you were trying to convey, then you've achieved that. Your distance and angle have you so far removed from the subject, that it's hard to evoke much else from the image.

The elements of this come together well in my opinion. My focus is the smaller birds in the surf, but the man, the crest of the wave, and the reflections from the shallow water all balance those birds out nicely. Probably not your typical "street" shot, but a very pleasing photograph.
