Your special photograph reflects several dynamics together -- one of the human figure standing out in contrast to a strong natural phenomenon of an ocean wave breaking; and one of an effective composition technique known as layering, with the human figure sandwiched between two layers; and another of tonal contrast within the frame, transitioning from white to black; and finally the inherent theme of man actively welcoming a natural power with his arms outspread.
You have captured a most striking subject with your well-done photograph.
In closing, I notice another attractive aspect of your photograph. The light illuminating the face of the surfer reflects from the white foaming wave ahead of him.
Bravo and congratulations for your outstanding photograph.
