I like it, seems a little underexposed though. Also, if you went a little tighter on the crop it could make help the swimmer be more prominent than the water. Also it would be awesome if there was a shark chasing him. (kidding!).

I like the idea. I would have bumped up my ISO some to get a faster shutter speed and maybe catch the swimmer with less blurr.. or maybe your focus was off? Your composition is very nice though.

I think the shark is a funny idea too!
