Got up at sparrows fart this morning (4:50am) for a paid sunrise shoot, but unfortunately the haze across Sydney means a re-shoot! Anyway, went down to Manly for a swim and some brekky afterwards and captured this skater accessing the surf. Critique away:

I like the idea, however I think if you had him off centre, close to the right side, would work better.

Possibly would work as a pano as well - cuts from top and bottom

Also just a slight straightening of the photo would help

Exactly what I was thinking

Thanks kids, good comments/critique.
Unfortunately there was 'stuff' on either side of skater-dude. I will adjust the horizon a little.
Cheers!

How about a portrait crop? both left and right hand sides are not doing much for me and the centre third has all teh key elements imo.
