I am not sure how to approach this one. The image is unusual on many levels. A 200mm lens gives you some telephoto compression but not an enormous amount. So your subject is very close to that foaming water. And it is not just in front of her, but beside her. And is that her shopping in the bag?? She is not wearing runners although it looks like she might need them. Did she get her shot (if that is what she was doing) and did she get wet? But it is certainly an interesting shot.

Very little at the distance, she was that close...

Certainly was, we're talking lens wiping kinda close.

More or less on three sides, waves breaking up against concrete jetty thing.

No think it was a beach bag, towels and the like.

Sandals for Summer/beach wear.

Yes and very in that order.

Makes your shot all the more impressive! And also makes it a meta-pic if I'm not mistaken.

This is classic! She was probably due for a new smartphone anyway

A most impressive shot!

Why do I get the impression that a spilt second later she was, well to paraphrase the vernacular, drookit? Well done sir, an excellent image

Yes it does get grim, not for public consumption.
