He seems to be welcoming it because we see his arms thrown open wide - like he is ready to recieve this gift; this revelation. The only thing that weakens the strenth of this image is that the man is so small in the frame that he is almost lost. I realize that this could be a visual statement that when compared to nature man is small. But the thing is you do not want him to get totally lost in showing the powerful beauty of the crashing waves. If you zoomed in a little more the viewer would more readily be able to see the man standing there than having to search for him.

thanks christine, i agree with you , but luckily it's only on a small 640 res that shows this, the actually photo in print size 24X16 is just totally mind blowing, you can see evrything...and it's just a tad lighter than here too....
this is the trouble we have with only being able to submit small photo sizes, so we need to realise this on other photos as well, i have some great photos in print size, but reduce them to 640 and you would'nt look twice at them..... something we should keep in mind anyway...
cheers

well to be honest, i think everyday is a celebration, especially if your alive and well, so for me this image represents the power of life, the force of how it makes us feel, what a big rush standing here in front of mother nature making you feel a part of her....
i spose i may be a tad weirder than others, but i find pleasure out of little things/feelings , and how they make me feel..i love getting a rush..espeically with something you had no control over...
am i making myself sound even weirder??..
