Not keen on the title but it's a wonderful shot. Good luck.

Your title indicates perhaps a sad place, but to me this is life-affirming. Peaceful, even. Very nicely captured - the light on the water is gorgeous.

The seafoam, the magical light on the rocks and the sea, the waiting man with a perfect high POV make the composition splendid.
Congrats ,

... it gets slippery and wet :) for my taste a little too much dodging/buring.

Wonderful moody shot. Great processing with lovely tones, textures and contrasts.8

I thought the subject was fishing till I read the title. The sea and rocks are impressively violent and solid, respectively. I suspect a different pose from the subject would look more despairing to me; as it is he's pointed at a little rock and looks to be idly contemplating it. From this distance body language needs to be extreme to convey an emotion, I think. If I ignore the title the subject still looks kind of random and inconsequential.

Very beautiful, but I think it looks a little over-processed (dodge/burn?), especially on the splash.

A good take on the challenge... and the subject is nicely sharpened and obvious.
