Don't you mean "Burgeoning" rather than "Bludgeoning"? Your title might make sense if the picture contained water violently smashing against rocks, but this looks rather calm and pensive.

The contrast is nice, and the color cast adds a nice feeling of atmosphere. If you'd have dodged & burned the sky and waves a little more this could have been even moodier. I'd prefer to see the horizon a little farther from the center of the frame. The land jutting into the left edge of the frame does a good job of grounding the shot and giving it a sense of scale. The harsh vignetting on the top corners are a little distracting; if the effect was more subtle I think that it would improve the the image.

Might try cropping more to eliminate the vignetting in the corners. Nicve idea, but you can tell that he is not walking ON water, but in shallow water.
Still nice photo, although the gray scale is a bit on the dreary side.

the picture delivers a certain feeling (loneliness, longing) very well, but the person's legs seem to be rather submerged. Also I'm not sure, whether the dark corners are intentional.

Looks kind of like you got your lens hood in the shot. Probably should have cropped that out...

Lovely beach scene with some problems - vignetting quite visible in upper corners. Too dark.

Love the photo, really love the title, but don't like the slight vignetting in the top corners. Hope this does well in the challenge.
