Very nice image, not sure about the angle but it seems to work
because the person is there.
Took another look and I think you might have taken a step or two to LHS and centered up the image gaining more on RHS and still including the person.
That’s just a personal opinion and not criticism, as I like the image

:shock: wow, them comments were more positive then I expected. This was my first attempt at some ‘advanced’ PS techniques – merging, layer masks, b+w conversions etc.
so thanks to all
Mr Lousy, you’ve a good eye indeed because thats exactly what I thought when I was actually there composing the shot – unfourtunately moving any further to the left would either have involved asking the subject to move slightly or chopping down a swathe of branches which would obscure him. In the end I took the compromise composition ( for fear of missing the shot totally). As I only had a 24-70 with me this is a crop, removing alot of branch/sky deadness from the top.

Very nicely processed and composed. The person stands out well even though they’re just a small part of the scene. The image has an infra-red-ish quality to it which I like. And I think the composition is good as well, your positioning works – if you were more centered I think it would actually be unbalanced.
I really like this photo, its fabbie, the lead of the eye to the person and along the canal is great indeed. For me it works really well, I think the angle is perfect because every time I look at it its the guy first then the canal, perfect.
