Looking Back

Hi. I submitted thos picture for critique yesterday, but wasn't

happy witht he image brightness, and when I tried to replace it I

somehow uploaded a completely different picture. Id really

appreciate some comments on this image. The only post precessing has

been to increase brightness level and correct the white balance - it

was taken early evening, facing into the sun (which was behind the

boarding). The light illuminating the subject is the sunlight

reflected in the windows of a building on my side of the street.

Thanks in adance.

The lighting could be better I guess, but really to me the biggest factor here is the composure/cropping. I often tend to be too "textbook," but in this case I think it would be better to use the rule of thirds and have him a third of the way into the picture. Here is an edit I just upped the contrast a bit, downed the brightness a bit and upped the saturation a bit. I cropped it in tighter to change the image. Let me know if you like it.
