Great catch! Better, yes, if he was coming in from the left - but still a nice combination of elements here. I love the older looking bike, and I think it works out well that he's wearing natural colors to match the surroundings. The motion of the waves adds a lot too. It's often easy to blow out the details in the waves, but you nailed it. Good colors and exposure.
Thank you so much for the nice comments everyone. I agree with those of you who said he would have been better off on the left side. I didn't have a chance to get him there though, unfortunately. He rode by very quickly and I only had enough time to snap one shot. The thing near the water isn't a shark or dolphin, it's a seagull I believe.
Nice concept. I really like how the blues tie everything together, the bike, his shirt, the water, sky. A nice feel to the color scheme of the whole photo. I think the comp might be a little stronger if the subject were framed closer to the left edge of the image, coming into the photo instead of going out, taking the viewers eye out of the shot.
If you ever read my comments, you'll know I adore bicycles and this is certainly one of them. The subtle tones and the guys' shirt being the same as the water really works. I love the stopped movement. Perfect for the category you chose. Really nicely done. He's looking off into the sea, thinking of the person he misses. GOOD JOB
