I saw a long time ago a same picture.. I mean with the same pattern..
Sea, a man .. The concept appears pure, but the inesthetic clothes slows on the concept.. The shot has been taken with a little leaning of 1 or 2 ° ..
nevertheless I find this shot very.. poetic.

nice shot, though the subject is too centered in my opinion.
a wider lens if possible, and placing the subject towards the left would have made the sea look as if we see it through his eyes.
also would have been nice to have all his shadow in the frame
