Default Photographer walking the shores

Was going for the dull cool look. I might come back and re edit some more. Get rid of the excess sand in the foreground but for now I'm liking it and think it works ok with this image.

What do you think?

Jason, I think it is a very nice shot. The things I like most are the reflection of that man in the water and the blurry sand (depth of field). Thanks for sharing.

This is not up to your usual high standards that I have seen in your other work. The reflection in the water is the photos strongest point but could have been improved with a change in your position/angle of shooting. I realize you probably had no control over you subject as he walked down the beach so you did well to capture what you have here.

I agree with clockdoc here - the strong point is the water reflection. The bokeh in the bottom part of the frame is rather distracting to my eyes and the sky does little to add to the picture much.

ya it was taken very randomly. also i was using the 70-200 at the time so still figuring it out (body position wise). Normally I would of shot something like this with wide angle.

Yeah, I agree. From your great shots I've seen just today, this one is pretty dull and boring.
