Nice one Peter

Is this a candid? Very good framing.

good details

Pete the sharp details are worthy of remarks; I would have like d to have seen what he is resting his back against. And, [chuckle] just where are his shoes?

Thanks

Kevin and Jerome for the comments. There were many people out sunbathing by the river that day, but this was "the guy with bare feet" - his defining characteristic. I also wondered where his shoes were. It's his mystery. I was hanging over the wall to take this shot from above. Including it gives a strong very light out-of-focus stripe down the right-hand side, which I peferred to crop out. You can see the slight blur on the extreme right of the picture, since a harder crop cuts too much of his head.

white shirt, coat, tie, bare feet

just make the photo for me. It leaves much to the imagination. OOF areas of a photo don't bother me at all so it would have added quite a bit to see what he was leaning against.

Good Shot

but you need to show what he's leaning on. Without that it appears as if he's falling down the stairs.
