    That's a great shot! what an odd position, looks like he's levitating. Kept my interest for a few minutes. It looks like an interesting spot too and photo itself is nice. This photo makes me laugh and those are the kind of pics I love. So does everyone.

    This is a great capture. I, too, would suggest cloning out the pole in the back-left. Also, I would suggest a crop below his shadow in the water, just above the buildings in the back and cropping out the distractions on the left (to the beginning of the steps).

    And, personally, I would love to see this in a B&W version with good tonal range and contrast.

    Jeez, I sure seem to have asked a lot... Still, a great shot as is, as well!

    Hi hi,

    thank so much for all of your valuable comments. Honestly I am new to photography and need you guys advice desperately for improvement. Really thanks.

    Tuna and Penny, I have tried to rework the pciture in B&W. See if you find it better or not.

    All the best,

    Alex

    Alex, this is fantastic. What a great moment to have captured on film. I think the B&W (done very well, by the way) adds a timelessness to this kind of photo.

    I think you did a great job with this, eliminating distractions and unneeded areas. This version brings his reflection into play as a more important element in the picture. Very nice.

    I really like this one! It is indeed a great moment to have captured on film. Great crop on the second image too. Although, I do prefer the vibrancy of the colour version.
