This is Steve. I've boated with him on some pretty significant rivers and he just happened to be on this creek the day I had my camera.
I guess I'm just looking to DPCers to help me improve this type of action photography for my future endeavors...
I wanted to keep his facial expression as the focus, but I feel that I may have cropped the image too tightly. I kinda wish that the bow of his boat was visible, but the move he is doing is rather dynamic and he popped out of the frame.
Is there too little environment for a frame of reference?

It is a good capture and you are right in saying the crop may be bad. Can you post the uncropped one? It may help others deturmine if it can be done better.

I like the facial expression and the sharpness of the guy's head and everything. The only thing that bothers me is the composition. It seems like his head is too centered with too much dead space on the right.
It would probably be better to have the negative space on the left, so he's heading into it, rather than out of it. Of course that's not necessarily possible depending on what the original looks like.
The composition as it is now just feels awkward to me.
It might even look good as a vertical shot, cropping out the stuff on the right.

This might help improve it a little.
