No nits. Excellent.  Just a bunch of bull.

Hello Jerry,... Nice capture, with forward motion prevalent and water splashing, the raised leg adds to the overall movement  with nice misty mood achieved!

Processing, action, mood and subject...all look great.  My only wish would be for him to be marching toward the lens rather than angling away.  And of course in the real world that is just a wish, a circumstance beyond control.

Love the stance, the splash of water from his right leg, the rain drops, the mist. Great mood to this. That is some rack on his head!

I too like the mood and misty feel here.

Don't mind too much that he's walking away from you, although a front-on angle would have been nice too :)
