I tried to depict the loneliness (or thoughtness?) of a man walking alone in the street. High contrast and b/w to isolate the man's silhouette against an ancient wall with vertical windows...

very effecetive composition & technique

Very nice contrast & composition. Nice work.

I tried to give a high contrast look to isolate the shape of the man

here, to underline his loneliness...What do you think?

very nice. i can feel the loneliness, almost sadness. the bars on the window add to the feeling i get of a young mind being imprisoned within an old body. nice

looks like something out of a contest to me. subject, framing, angles, it tells a story, all of it.

Yes, increasing the contrast was a great move! And it did the trick. Composition is perfect! The windows, a man and the lines in the corner. Great textures here also. Overall a beautiful image. Congrats!

 

Very good one, Paolo! I have uploaded yesterday the same idea (photo_id=1243087) but you got a much stronger one here with the perfect composition. Benissima!!

To much wall IMHO. Nice job otherwise.

The atmosphere is quite strange due to the very clear wall. I would crop a left 1/3 of the picture to give a more dynamic feel... (here the man is a bit too centered, IMHO)

I think your treatment and composition helps this photo achieve your goal. Nicely done.
