Could this be Zoomie's? What makes this shot a standout is the layer upon layer upon layer of tonal range. You make Ansel proud. The sunbreak out along the coastline in the distance, just behind the "Sentinel" trunk is glorious, as is the subtle mist among the coastal rocks. IMO, cropping out a bit more of the grey clouds at the top of the frame would give this coastal Sentinel even fuller expression.

Something looks weird with his right hand - did he have a baton? If he had, it should not have been desaturated IMO/ if he hadn't it looks like his hand is detached from the body.
Otherwise a good use of selective desaturation, as it makes the runner stand out whereas otherwise he would blend in with the background crowd.

The tree looks odd. Looks like some editing of the clouds. Too much gray sky above the tree. Bottom of image is too dark for my taste. Overall, the exposure/lighting isn't that great. Composition is cool though.

Beautiful photo. I am not sure about the tree blocking that on big rock?

What!?!? That's Oregon coast SUNSHINE! They're just soakin' up rays, man! Seriously, how long have you lived on the coast? Kind of plain but still pretty neat.
