Mischa,

What a dynamic yet simple composition! It's just a strong diagonal with a figure in the middle of it. But the diagonal does not go exactly to the corners and the figure is not exactly centered--this is fortunate because it prevents the composition from being static.

I especially love the way you have differentiated the textures (water, hair, rain jacket, paving) without varying the values too much. In fact, in your control of the values, you have perfectly captured the feeling of an overcast day. I also admire the tension between the boy and his reflection, with the barrier of the water in between. When you view the drawng sideways, this tension becomes abstract.
