I think it is a nice image but i think it would be better if the background was entirely the grey of the mountain, now the background is split and it is a little bit distracting.

I agree with Rene a good image spoilt for me by the bright top left corner. I find it takes my eye away fro the subject. If you felt inclined and it is not against your ethics it looks a fairly simple job to clone over the corner to create a more uniform background.

I disagree with Rene and John, I think you need that background with the title you have chosen. Having said that, from the look in his eyes I think the title should be more along the lines of "Go ahead, make my day".
I also agree with Rene, but other than that a very nice picture

Hi Tom,
Like this image a lot, more so because of the background and you know it's a mountain, if it was a plain background I think the picture would be less effective.
Could do with a little more DoF, his nose looks a little soft (might be my eyes though!!)
well captured
