Help me how to describ this photo http://blog.naver.com/ddajung5200/220127504618 Please, click the address above to check the photographs that I'd like to describe. What would you describe the man in a black turtle neck sitting the nearest the camera in the first picture? I answered ' the man in a black turtle neck is leaning over the chair' but I'm not sure that position can be describe like this. leaning againg something, leaning back, leaning on something that are clear to recognise but that positon in the picture is not sure how to describe. He's sitting on his side. Also, what about that guy in a shirt with strips on the right? Please, let me know how to describe those positions. About the second picture, on the left, one of the three men on the field is standing with his knees bent, it that right? About the list one, I answered, 'He's jumping with his bicycle', I want to know if it's right or not and what the better answer is. Thanks.

For the first man, you could say "he's leaning back in his chair". The man in the striped shirt "is resting his chin in his (left) hand". I think you've described the umpire's position fine. For the third picture, I'd say "he's doing a jump with his bicycle". Your explanation is close, but it made me think the person has picked up his bicycle in his hands, then jumping.
