I like how you chose to let the focus go in lieu of the feel of the photo. Really nice flow, and I quite like the way you've emphasized the separate worlds - the city across the sea, the man on the beach, and the rolling waves between.
Very unconventional composition with the subject being cramped into the corner of the frame. It actually works here, as it gives space for the viewer to gaze out over the water to the skyline in the background. Wonder if this would've benefited from a warmer, more orange toning than the sepia?
