Love the take-off pose, particularly the details on the legs and feet! Wish for a bit more head turn towards us. Warmer light would have made this killer.
Nice timing, ditto Dorian on the angle of take-off, and the head needs to be opened up a lot.

Wonderful take-off shot, Joe. I also thought a bit of warmth would help. So would a slight head turn, but in the absence of that, opening up the head as Artie suggests would lift the image a notch. Well captured.
