Do as you are told

The shot sort of speaks for itself really, as in the guy, who was a little hard on his luck, seems to be following orders. Like the Lowry stick figures also. Left the processing strong, contrasty and hard, to suit the rough urban scene.

thanks for looking

Much better large....

composition here helps with left to right dynamic
well shot and converted
there is tension however between the left hand motif and the wooden window
seems like two shots

cheers

Thanks Mr toad for the reply and critique. Only issue with cropping the window out is that it gives a slightly too tight aspect in that it's less wide. I left it in to balance the shot up as otherwise it seemed a little left heavy to me. But it's just purely my subjective preference.

Another good find ... I might have been tempted to take out the brickwork at the top as it does draw the eye, without it there is a plain canvas.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Gramps I know just what you mean about the stuff at the top as I thought long and hard about its inclusion. The only conclusion was that they both work so just plumped for this one, but works just as well without. Less gritty without, but cleaner and tidier. Can't decide!
