Very nice, but if I can nitpick, a little noise reduction in the background could have benefited it.

Overall a good photo, lacks a little creativity and the photo needs to be tilted a little, it looks like they are falling downhill.

Comment by Citadel:
the gentleman in the photo needs a bit more light or a lighter background. I actually think that this might be more effective against a white background now that I think of it

Greetings From the Critique Club

First Impressions:
very busy photograph; I think posthumous hit the nail on the head in describing it as frantic

Technical (Comp, lighting, color, focus):
my thoughts are had this been a positive image your composition would have been right on the mark; for me, as a negative image I feel the tree should have been closer to center which might have elimated the overall busy-ness of this photo. for some reason when I look at this my eye is drawn the right hand side (looking at the photo) and I'm not sure that's what you had in mind - then again, it could just be my eyesight.
I think the white part of your boarder should have been narrower or the black part wider

Challenge:
yes you have a negative image

Artistic/Emotion:
I would say this is an artistic piece that boarders on being an abstract.
Emotionaly? I don't have any opinion about this emotionally. Although it does make me think of a dark stormy night

Summary:
A nice negative photo that needs a little more of a "pop" or "wow" factor.
