Audacious and dark. And I really like it! Still it would be better with just very little more light.

Very pretty photo and nice composition, no doubt. But parallel lines dont' seem to be the focus. If I had to choose a theme here, it'd be "layers." I know power lines would ruin the beauty of a shot like this, but think how it would balance the line aspect. Just a thought.

this reminds me of a style of the 30's and again in the 50's of some of the Jazz greats...very powerful and well executed

I like this very much, I would prefer to see more of the face in the frame because the hand takes my eye away

I finally figured out why I like this shot so much. You have captured, very simply, the two visible things that define a man. Ya got his eyes, and ya got his hands. I keep getting drawn between the two points. Very nice. I just hope everyone has their monitors calibrated properly otherwise you might get some 'too dark' comments...

Comment by cpanaioti:
The interest in this image comes from the colours on the ground. Cropping the sky almost all the way to the top of the mountains would give it more impact. 6

I like the colors, but in this case, I might like a little less of the upper sky, so that each strip of horizontal color is "weighted" more evenly. Very peaceful.
