Compositionally, you have some things here that work really well. I like how the road starts in the bottom left and "meanders" up and through the frame. That sets the stage or mood for the man walking, as he also seems to just be meandering by. It feels a little tight, vertically, though, and I'm wondering what it would look like to open it up a bit and include more of the road/path on the left, OR shift the entire composition a touch to the left a bit more. The bird in the foreground gives the picture an almost comical feeling to me, for some reason. It just looks "right" to be there.

Technically, I like the dof you have chosen to use -- the blurry foreground helps to direct the eyes to the man. The bw works well here, but it seems a little flat to me, perhaps a bit to "gray." Maybe a bit more contrast or something to help boost it a bit.

Overall, I think it is an interesting shot, and gave a perspective of "street" that many may not think of.

If you have any questions, or if I need to clarify or explain myself, please feel free to contact me.

One of my favourites of the challenge.
I think while it may not be a city street, which some people may unfairly penalise you for, i think it fits very well with the challenge.
the highlighting of the man is very nicely done, and the out of focus bird on his path, i really like it all.

somehow I get distracted by the bird at the bottom. good selection of the winded path and the rounded bushes
