Photo taken in April, Skellefteå, northern Sweden.

This is a really offbeat composition and I really like it. The dark line in bground adds a quite intriguing element to it, and the relationship between the subjects is spot on. The slight angling gives a very dynamic and tense feel to it. I suspect not everyone's cup of tea but works fine for me.

Well it works for me to, but a shame it's not up to the maximum 720pix..? I like the drama and artistic aspect of this shot. Nice work.

Looks like a very interesting and artistic image, but I would need to see it bigger to fully appreciate it.

Like the action going on but to me it needs a square and tighter crop.
I too would like to see it a bit bigger to fully appreciate it.

Greetings,

Thank you for your comments.

Sorry about the size - looked OK on the low resolution monitor I used while uploading the photo.

I can't make up my mind on this one. Would like to see it bigger.

It's certainly different but lacking in detail.
