You misjudged the focus.
But only slightly. <vbg>
Seriously, it's a cool shot. I don't know why, it just is. There's a certain, I don't know, voyeuristic feel to it. No, that's not it, rather it's an informality, sort of being where one usually isn't, if you know what I mean.
Well, of course you know what I mean, you were down there with the camera shooting, weren't you? <vbg>
There's a certain nonchalance to the pose that I like.
Interesting comp - I think it works very well.
I'm not sure that I like the desaturation/colouring of the whole thing. But that's a personal bias that has nothing to do with the actual quality of the work. I prefer either b&w or colour. I also don't like those ads on TV that are all b&w except one little colour thing. So, don't take this paragraph as a criticism as much as an expression of personal bias.
Otherwise, I like it a lot!
cheers, frank

I don't think this one needs much explanation. :-) Taken with an M50/1.7 on negative film and selectively desaturated in PSP. All comments and criticisms welcome, but I already know that I misjudged the focus slightly...
