Thoughts?

It is a lovely moment, well seen and captured, and a nice, pastel tonality. Perhaps a bit over-sharpened?

I played around with cropping (gasp!) and I think that reducing it to a 3:1 panoramic format, excluding the top sky and bottom waves (but one), would reduce it to its essential elements: the figure, sail, wave and sky, and make it a much tighter, stronger compositionally. There you go, a thought

As you can guess, I emphatically disagree! It's just dandy as is. Good catch, Jeremy.

I like it with this surfer as a silhouette and the colored kite.

I agree the jpeg I've posted here could be a little over-sharpened, but I think it's an artefact of the downsizing in LR: at full size, it looks fine.

And thanks for the thought: just what I'd asked for! I'll see what it looks like, but I wouldn't like to enrage Russ...

Just try it and show it to the rest of us, but not to Russ.   

It's a fine shot either way.

Don't you dare, Jeremy! The picture needs the sky and the sea. The isolation of the guy in those elements is what makes the picture.
