Alone with the phone

An unknown man sitting on his own; looking depressed and looking at

his phone.

 

I have changed the style somewhat from the colour version, does this

have anything going for it?

I like the contrast of the man's black jacket against the whitish walls. I also love the pattern of the shadows on the building. nice shot

Peter, I like the way the "net" is closing in on that poor guy. Works well in B&W; maybe you could have left some space under his feet.

Very much! Modern man with all his technology and yet so prred and dpressed and as Claude pointed out, the net of the shadows closing in on him. I would add maybe a bit more contrast and as Claude a bit more space under his feet. Great image never the less.

 

My compliments.

???????:::El pensador de Rodin.....???, perfecta imagen con un bello encuadre, saludos cordiales Peter.

Fun shot, Peter, with the looming windows. I feel I should be shouting 'watch out behind you!' I agree about the more room for the feet comments. Nice b&w.

Hello All, thanks for looking and for your valuable comments. It's interesting, I submitted the colour shot for discussion on the Royal Photographic Society website and the general opinion there, was crop around the feet. Perhaps I need to generate a third image.

 

Best wishes. Peter

Interesting composition Peter, the net's shadow is very significant to the way of his body language, as well as the corner he is seating, everything is "closing " on him. (aside for more room for his feet ,( that was said) a very moody image with B/W compatible to the atmospher.

Great graphics and lines!
