An Early Morning Kayak

Well, since this is one of those pieces that I like, but on which I also see some concrete points that could maybe be improved, and you requested the critique - here it is <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>

First thing's first - the idea.
I know it's not the first photo of a lone man on a boat moving out into a beautiful waterscape, but it doesn't have to be. This is one of those works people hang on the wall not as food for thought but as something that will soothe and relax, and that - it does very well.

So, about those points that could need improvement. In this case both may or may not be true, but I think they're worth considering.
Firstly, I find the man in the boat a bit too soft (considering he's the main actor of the image), but when I see you already used f/16 60mm(ef.), I guess the focus was a bit behind him to still keep the details in the background? Maybe it was the best choice in the end.
Secondly, I have the feeling the horizon is tilted and falling to the right slightly. This might be because of the shape of the shore across, but maybe rotating the image CC for just a tiny little bit would fix this feeling.

Anyway, beside those two nitpicks, there is really nothing for me to complain about here. The weather conditions, the light, and your execution make this the most soothing of such photos that I have seen yet.

In other words, beautiful work <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
