Very nice composition, Mandy. Your subject could be a tad bit sharper, but I love the whole scene -- your lead-in lines and the colors. Nice work #175638

Great picture Mandy

Light is excellent as well.

All the lines take us to the man walking toward us.

Only one thing comes to mi mind that could improve somehow this already extraordinary shot. Have you tried to crop just a little bit from the bottom?

I suggest that for two reasons. First, the out of focus portion at the bottom of the picture distracts just a little, and second reason the position of the subject within the triangle will be steadier. As it is, the gentleman is closer to the upper part of that triangle of light. If you crop a little from the bottom the subject will be closer to the base and I think it will help a little.

Or you can leave it as it is, full frame, well composed, well exposed.
Great work.
