Tried something different, tell me what you think.

Not after composition comments, rather the contrast/colour please

In my opinion the contrast is excessive. Why would you not want to have some detail in all those deep shadows?

In regard to color, for as little color as there is, it might as well be converted to a monochrome.

I really like the subject and the action - I just don't appreciate the extreme contrast.

I sorta like the extreme contrast. Especially for something "different". the darkness draws you to his well lit face which is expressionless. His face doesn't fit the action in the photo . . . I find that somewhat intriguing.

I like it.

The scene is so dark that if the title hadn't said "Scooter", I would have thought that he was pushing a lawnmower or maybe a weedeater.
