Your thoughts?

I deliberately separated this guy out from others, and put him in that position in the frame. So you can comment on if that works or not, too. :)

    for me, it's too much dead space with nothing to look at.....sorry

    No need to apologise...it's all subjective, which is why I asked for opinions. :)

    You have a good, colorful subject in a great pose but I agree with Dave about the dead space. It might work if the water was more interesting but not here. Have you tried a closed crop?

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I'll have a look at that. I have already cropped this, so it might lose too much in a further crop.

    Thanks for the ideas. :)

    That is a great pose, but a tighter frame would definitely work better if you have the pixels.
