I like the composition, and how the background seems just as (if not more) important as the figure. The fact that his face is hidden by his hat adds to the mystery and darkness of this photograph. This atmosphere is also encouraged by the lack of colour. Overall, a very interesting photo, good work

Thx. I objectively realized on previous shots (like this one [link] ) that words on walls always naturally push up the contrast of a picture.
