This is a fine shot. Been cruising your portfolio, saying to myself - well, I'm not sure what I am saying to myself or I would leave some comments... But this one I say, Darn it, he sure knows what he is doing. (Do you think if I could find out the focal length I might be able to start to get in that cunning vanishing point in the background? This totally works for me.
I came back to explain what I didn't like about this shot, only to find that I actually DO like it! It's a bit grainy and low contrast but it certainly catches an interesting moment. Bumping up.
i'm all about interesting processing, but i think you might have gone a bit too far with the shadow boost. what i find most odd is that his pants are still overexposed. still, a very daring composition if you didn't know the guy before hand
