Interesting effect, with all the "hidden" faces.

I'd have done a little selective burning-in on the brightest foreground stems to balance them with the rest of the image.

Lighthouse

I think I might darken the upper clouds/sky a bit to balance it with the rest of the photo, and frame or "sandwich" the lighthouse between land and sky.

Good job getting so close -- when I've tried to shoot windsurfers they're usually just tiny specks.

As I mentioned, the graininess in the BG was intentional, to emphasize the difference between the structure and the surroundings, which are actually very blah otherwise. I "later" thought this might look good in a duotone.

I did get one shot later of blocks tumbling, but there was no "composition" to it. These were shot in a museum, so avoiding other people and exhibits is tricky. This one was composed by "dead reckoning" with the camera lying almost flat on the table -- no using either the LCD or the viewfinder.
