There's a great quality to this photograph and some lovely colours cast by the various sources of light and the resulting shadows add a lot of depth. Possibly a little bit too empty in parts of the upper half of the image?
I kind of like the emptiness. It's what I would expect when someone is walking home from work in the wee hours. That emptiness that follows after the fullness of a bustling city. Does that make sense?
Yoyo, this is the 6th or 7th time I have looked at this. Thats because I like it alot! You have really captured the body language of someone who has put in a long hard day. Too tired to look happy to be going home.
It's just my opinion but I think the bright light is distracting from the main point of interest, and I think the only way to eliminate it is to crop from the top to just above the right side of the tall white building on the left Also there is to me too much detail on the right of the pic that dosn't add to the image so a crop of the right may be in order. and finaly, if you do both of thse things there is too much foreground, so cropping the bottom a bit would be in order. All of this does change the feel of your image quite a bit, but also serves to emphasize the man as the main subject.
these are somethings that I think may make it stronger, though I think that it is an outstanding image just the way it is.
Mark.
