Kiteboarder in Mid-air

This photograph of a kiteboarder in mid-air is a nice action shot.  The athlete pops out because he is high enough to have only the sky behind him and no other clutter.  Also, the contrast between him and the background is distinct.  One could argue, with validity, that the eye is drawn to the brightest areas of an image and the bright line of spray in this image is a distraction from the subject.  My own feeling is that the spray contributes greatly to the portrayal of action that I'm trying to achieve.
400mm lens, 1/4000 second at f/3.2, ISO 125.
