Good composition, gorgeous (complimentary) colors; orange sleeves matching cloud color look like very nice touch.

Beautiful.

I think it can perhaps be made stronger, by burning the upper left edges that are too bright and bringing the focus to the illuminated cloud and the lone figure.

A bit too much for my taste, Russ. You've altered the balance of brightness in the coloured cloud.

I had a rather more subtle change in mind (and it's not often that I'm more subtle than anyone).

It's a call shot, Jeremy. As my Thai housegirl used to say: "Tsup to you."

For a small fee I will sign a release.

Yes, it is a great shot Jeremy. I prefer your own revision to either your original or Russ's version.

What I tried to do was to put the emphasis on the man. But it's Jeremy's (quite good) picture and he wants the emphasis on the cloud and the clear sky above it. Tsup to him. I like it either way.

I won't be able to get hold of that until I return to Iceland (of which I dream), but I'll buy you a beer if I'm ever in your neck of the woods, particularly since my camera was on the tripod you kindly lent to me when I took the shot.
