    The composition is good and the angle at which the photo has been taken was a good choice. I can almost see a ray of light in the distance even though the weather seems very threatening. I like mostly the moment of hesitation of the subject almost like saying ” to jump or not to jump”.

    I like the lonely figure standing at the edge. Too bad the weather was this dull as it doesn’t do the picture a lot of good. Anyway, great scene!
