When you said "Died" I thought it was going to be more dramatic

nice series...here's a few things that I would sugggest to really get these where they should be (obviously imo)

1. shoot this head on a little sooner (seems just a touch late so he's too low on the wall). a small vignette would look cool too

2. should have shot where the grate wasn't visible. lift some shadows and add a soft light layer (low opacity to add some color and contrast) A very light effect (like Dave Hill) would be really cool on this one.

3. needs some curve adjsutments to tame the highlights and lift shadows

4. just need to bring the skys down a stop or so.

5. lift shadows in shirt and pants

6. just use some rule of thirds in the comp and you're money...I really like this shot of the footjam.

Hope that is helpful. Again, nice series, a little post work and this are very good.
