Hi!
Another one from Singapore, Sentosa Island. 1/640, f/7.1, 24mm

G'day Mic,
This seems so foreboding, sort of over-powering, great subject on a great angle... Maybe try a bit more levels/contrast/curves in the sky to make it a bit more threatening with stronger clouds and this would look wicked...
Smidge tight above the head, isn't cropped at all?

Nice Mikhail!! Lends itself perfectly to B&W that one, well done!
A slight hint of blown highlights around the middle bit detracts slightly, but that's nitpicking.

I love it the way it is!
You have an absolute black and an absolute white.
Amazingly sharp for f/71.
The angles you tried to get work very well for me (where it starts in the bottom left etc).
The shading/shadow being cast are also amazing!

AWESOME shot. This really appeals to me. Reminds me of a knight in a chess set for some reason.

Nice shot, good angle and the B/W give it a good contrast to it

Strong image with lots of impact. Nicely handled. Good use of the image space. Shape/form/tones and texture all exploited to the max. Previous comment on darker sky could have some merit.

Thanks everyone!
It's not easy to make sky darker because there are some clouds obscuring it. Image is cropped but very slightly
Arthur, thank you, I've corrected the subject
