 I thought this guy was going to jump...

Nah, just kidding... It's my friend Troy!

I didn't really relize the reflection in the water until I uploaded it. I think it's really ironic how it looks like the shadow will jump and his reflection is already in the water; hence the title.

- Crop
- Unsharp Mask
- Curves to make whites white...
- Neat Image to fix noise cause by curves

I like the photo, but I'm not too keen on the title. Won't lower my score for it though.

I like the frame on this one. Nice that you got the person's reflection in the water, too.

I like your use of compositional techniques to 'hide' your person; you've made a good choice of the 'size' of that person too. I think it's perhaps too compex a scene - I mean the buildings, the trees silhouettes, the mud-banks and so on - to score very well here, and also seems to lack that edge of sharp detail.

Don't like your title. Suicide? Try a broken ankle!

Nice title. Good contrast. There are perhaps too many details under the bridge. 7.

depressing

What's up with the title?

Wxcellent composition. THe angles shoreline directs me to the bridge, and that across to the person. I am getting burned out on b&w, but it works here. If only the steps in the snow were not there or shoveled. The truck on the bridge is a minor distraction.

The image is good. The title is kind of a downer though

Nice photo - depressing title -- however, I tried not to let that interfere with my vote :)

Nice image... like the black and white, though I'd say you are going to be rueing that title by the time voting is over 6.
