Love the hard-edged controlled composition and the minimalist sanctity of impression. A great addition to your other images of this ilk. Catching the yellow bag is that characteristic twist you add to many of your images to up the impact.

Ed, again one of your pearls. I love the scene you have composed made of an L formed area of light in one third of the frame.

The contrast between the smallness of the human figure and the massive building is striking, and the shape of the light/shadows really catches my eye. To me, this photo speaks to the engineering ability of humans and our ability to go so far beyond our singular selves.

The contrast in size makes it somewhat interesting; not sure I care for the black, though. It looks artificial and frankly overpowering.

usually a very small, distant main subject would be distracting, so as the big portion of closed black shadows. in this particular case these things are in fact the strengths of the photo: a small human being compared to the huge buliding; the play of light and shadows, with hopeless big shadows are making the atmosphere more mystical. very good photo.

Your eye wants to leave the image at left, then top. It needs some shadow detail rather than pure black. Composition needs a little more sidewalk at bottom to give it a base. Very interesting shot.

I like the starkness of this and I like the sharply defined shadows, but I really feel this should be in black and white, in order to give it a really noir look and feel. I think this image cries out for a more "forbidding" look.
