Wonderful image - I love the lighting, colors and expressive shadow! I really like that that the top part of him that is cropped off is the part that is seen in the shadow.

Very effective crop, great shadow and light.

The composition is indeed very nice. The body very appropriately "cut" from the shoulders, leaving that part of the body to the backround as a shadow.I also like it, that the shadow on the upper part of the backround frames the image further and gives focus to the shadow of the head and hand. Great colors too!

Superb framing! The Black & Red dominating the scene adds a special touch. Personally I would go a bit further and crop the small part of the white shirt on the top (not the scarf!).
Fantastic image!

Wonderful photo. It transcends the pane as magic should. Bravo.

MCsaba, I think this is really well photographed. I love how your shot of the "part" relates so well to the "whole" via the shadow. My eye is especially drawn to the uplifted arm and expressive fingers. Nice composition and lighting...and I like the overall color scheme here. A clever, unique, and interesting take on the theme...nice photo, MCsaba. MFC

I like the creative crop on this image, as well as the vibrant contrasting colors.---deb
