Anticipation

Hi below is the pic i took while waiting for water fools show to start.
Can the man be the storyline for this picture? C & C are welcome.

It depends what the story is?

"The Man"? as in? Do u mean as the title?
If "the man" is referring to the uncle that 's the only one in color, then i dun think he is prominent enough. Took me a while to find the man. Thus i dun think that the title u plan to use is appropriate...

This seems more like a night landscape shot but the horizon seems tilted to me and a bit soft, u must be using a large aperture for the shot. i think it might be better to crop away the shadows at the corners they are too distracting and does not add to the mood of the picture.
Just my 2 cents...

The feel of the photo is very calm and relaxing. Don't feel any anticipation looking at the photo. It doesn't give an edgy, exciting feel.

The man in the photo is not prominent enough. The first thing that catches the attention of the viewer is simply the night landscape, which is not too sharp either.

Ya i was using large f stop @ that time and was actually testing out exposure for the coming up shoot. So when finished, I review and saw this photo, it gave me nice feel but somehow some thing's amiss, so i post it here for critique, as for my collection.
Thanks everybody for all your valuable critique that made me know what's wrong this pic. I think it just look nice only. I will do away this photo from my personal collection.
Thanks to all....
