We recently had very rough seas, and the morning light was beautiful. I like the patterns of the waves on the beach . Just as I was about to take the shot a surfer came along and sat there. I rather like his presence in the shot. Any comments, suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you for looking.

Hi Marguerite, you have quite an evocative picture here, we can imagine the contemplation involved very easily. I would however suggest a change of composition for you and have uploaded a mod to demonstrate it.
I feel your subject would have been even better had he been located in the lower left junction of thirds, maybe even closer to the left edge. That way he has more space to look into and therefore more space for the viewer to place his thoughts into if you see what I mean.
It is generally better anyway to allow space ahead of people as otherwise what is behind becomes redundant in the scheme of things and therefore not a good part of your picture.
I hope that makes sense to you anyway have a look at the mod and see if you can see what I mean.
