Regarding your question about impact and my initial comment. Keep in mind, this is one opinion. . . as it stands, it is very appealing. I can see it in a tutorial or a written piece on free running. For a greater human impact, it needs context. . . other participants, or random people, watching. . . I can imagine the varied expressions as they watched. It becomes a street image, or candid, loaded with story, not the least of which is the act of free running in a rigid city environment, etc. That would make it memorable beyond the splendid action. Cheers, Ben

Wow. My apologies for the keyboard vote leaving a comment. Why a 5? A fine photo, great action and sense of freedom, it just didn't strike me as a memorable photograph due in part to a rather static composition and a one dimensional interpretation.

Agree with the others, maybe watch his skin tone doesn't go too red from the bg.

(if that makes sense) the PP-ing is nice, colors are excellent. focus and clearity are good too.

I have one of him looking at the camera. I felt it wasn't as strong. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment.
