This is really a fun shot, with a touch of weirdness. There are many lines, shapes, and angles, as well as a variety of textures to make the image interesting. Of course, the complementary blue/orange are also good.

On my monitor, the entire image is slightly blurred. I don't know if it's me, the monitor, or the photo. At least maybe it needs some sharpening.

I had to study this picture a long time before I realized why that hand in the upper right of the image felt so odd to me. I think it's because the hand is coming out of nowhere, from the dark (kind of creepy!) When you get around to re-shooting this, see if you can set up a dark foreground and light background. The playfulness of the moment is somewhat dampened by the heavy dark background. jj #622244

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
