Love the striding pose on this one Oscar, the lighting on this is just about perfect, as is your exposure. He looks like he is walking up hill, just needs a little rotation to level things up. Super shot btw.

As Andy said a very slight tug on the bottom right hand corner and nailed , one of your best images to date IMO....
