Gary,
This is so cool!
I love the colors, the surf looks like the sky almost, it's deceiving. I like how the footprints carry us through the image.
The image reads like a book- it has a beginning, middle and end. Great image.

I like how the sea flows into the land, instead of there being a big distinction between the two.
