I like this a lot. There's a metaphor here, I'm sure: Amidst the hopeleslly monolithic and uniform surroundings, he manages to do his own thing, as if trying to break out. This is accentuated by the fact that he's down low and not standing tall. Maybe that's a bit deep -- he's probably just texting his wife to say that he'll pick up bread on his way home.

Confronting human frailty always creates a dramatic image. This is well executed, and certainly stands out in this challenge.

Classic scene, worthy of National Geographic. Nicely processed.

That is scary, but good panning on your part. As far as the image, I might have cropped out those harsh golden lights in the upper left.

Fun image. The colors are cool and they work. I think this may also have worked in black and white as your background is sufficiently blurred.

Seems like such a huge expanse in a place normally known for having lots of people, and yet he's the only one. How did you manage that? I like the lines. He looks so small compared to his surroundings.
