Lovely!

I think the composure is fabulous and love the wavy line of that conopy.

I like the idea and especially the shadow that cuts a diagonal across the image. But I "feel" (no certainty) that the open sky and shapes of the bleachers et al take too much of my attention off the walker. My preference would have been for the following image:

Just trying to probe and offer alternatives !

thank you for your suggestion.

for me the real subject where the light, the line of the roofs. human element and shadow are only here for 'graphical' and 'explanation' contribution.

I like both versions. Each conveys different feelings.

like the image a lot and think for me light and curve of canopy are most interesting. Person here adds scale and a sense its morning and people are arriving.
This is in contrast to a post of yours, I think on share photos, where you had half a person at top walking into view. There i felt person detracted from image, perhaps because of having only two legs in image. Cutting things animate or otherwise I think is generally going to detract rather than enhance an image.

thank you for your opinion , jim.
i try too, generaly , to avoid to cut elements in a picture and i agree with your general feeling about this subject.

but for these legs, strangely, i do not feel the same, perhaps because the place of cutting is not very involved in personnality and therefore not so disturbing?. ( it give me the idea to do a serie with cuted body or head, the result would be more disturbing ) .
