Man: - Self Portrait.
Where - 1 Mile away from Tower Bridge, London, UK
I hope you like it.

Canon 5Dmkii, 24-70mm at 38mm, f11, 1/6 sec, ISO 100. Tripod used. .3 Lee ND Graduated filter.
2 Days into my new job in London I decided to get in super early to see if I could catch some early mist by Tower Bridge.
I eventually found a favourable spot and got dressed into my outfit. As it was 4am there were only a few runners giving me puzzled looks. After a couple of hours trying various poses, dodging rain showers and the odd comment or two an American chap scared the life out of me when he tapped me on the leg and asked "hey buddy, are you OK?".
Difficult one that, as I was standing on a wall with a 40ft drop the other side dressed in a business suit with a Bowler Hat and Umbrella.
All I could say was "urm, I think so".

This shot is also available from a photobook collection called 'All Business' by redtree.me

Sorry, lemme say that again:

Reminds me of the "Man Jumping Over Puddle" by Henri Cartier-Bresson.

It reminds me closely of Cartier-Bresson's "Man Behind St Lazarre Station" only that it's bolder. Very good!

Huh, the last time I've tryed to make this kind of shot, I've slipped on landing and ended up falling ~4 metres down onto some stones, thankfully, covered in thick moss. I hope no one had to fish you out of the river after this shot here XD

That sure doesn't look safe. Maybe the dense fog will make a softer landing.
