What is very cool about this is the wave crashing into the rocks right there appears to be a show put on specifically for the people who sit at that bench. The wall even forms a "stage front" if you will.
Great timing, the contrast certainly adds drama. OTOH, the contrast is a bit harsh. I rarely advocate for soft focus and vignettes, but a tender moment might work better with that style. OTOOH, a rebellion against convention adds an edge to an otherwise somewhat cliche shot. As you can probably see, I'm a bit conflicted here.
