Always a pleasing play of light and darkness in your photos Ben.

A wonderful and intriguing image you have here. Most likely to not get too much love from the masses, but it's got my admiration.

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Looks like a Ben - of course this is a good thing! I like how early morning it feels and his run from the surf communicates a chill. The overall pale ghostliness works really well too - as does his placement in the frame.

Critical stuff: Though I know this is purposeful, I still hanker for a tad more contrast.

Overall: Well made and communicative.
