In terms of what should be excluded from the image, any extraneous details or distractions should be avoided. The focus should be on the kayaker and the surrounding scenery, with no unnecessary elements cluttering the image. The kayaker's face and body should remain mostly in shadow, adding to the mystery and intrigue of the image. Additionally, any text or logos should be kept small and unobtrusive, as to not detract from the beauty of the image.
