Thanks to all for your comments. To answere the first question, it was taken just North of Laguna Beach.

As to the question of is this man working?. After taken his picture I had a chance to chat with him a bit. He is currently unemployed and yes he was trying to catch his dinner that day. He commented that it was too cold at the time for fun and that he was more interested in catching his dinner.

I agree that it looks weak in meeting the challenge theme by just viewing the picture for a third perspective...but the fact showed otherwise...therefore, I submitted it.
Hope this clear things up a bit for everyone.

I agree, it's beautifully composed. I don't believe for one minute that the subject is hard at work. Way off topic.

WOW! I love the serenity this scene conveys. LOVE it.

You captured a Beautifull moment!. I like it a lot. I disagree with the coment above about it being off topic. It may seem as fun to some but this man is working for food like so many others do around the globe.

Great composition. Love that diagonal. But way off topic.

That looks familiar. Is it Moss Point in Laguna Beach?
