This was actually taken at night. I picked a location with some good shadows, but it turned out that the light was bright enough to almost make it look like it was taken during the day, so I ended up doing some serious Photoshopping.

It looks like the focus was a little bit in front of this guy, and I think i'd have liked to see it not completly focused on him, but a little bit more than it is.
I think this would also benifit from a little bit more contrast just to add an extra punch to the initial view.
now this is so great. I want to do something like this one day! you really succeeded in darkening out the body and highlighting his fast with just enough light. 10
