7 - Good capture. Difficult, especially with the whites, but perhaps a tweaking of the colors, etc may have given this a bit more 'pop'. Quality dependent, perhaps a tighter crop too, but the context/scale is also good here so who knows.
IMHO I think this image would have been much better if it was cropped closer to the subject about 15% on both sides. The subject sems to be dwarfed by the waves. But an excellent capture nevertheless. Nice.
