Yes...I can see the bit of hesitation in his pose. This is an exquisite shot, elegant in its simplicity and wonderful in its mood, virafoto!! #5024981

Amazing image and capture of the moment. I love the reflection, color and comp! My husband lived in huntington beach for years and used to body surf. Terrific work! #5025167

"Someone" once said that there's a Beatles song for every moment of our lives.
So, what better or optimistic title could you have found than this one to this moment of hesitation? Along with the expression of doubt we imply that things are, well, getting better. :)
It's perfect! #5066149
