That balance of 'envoronment' and figure is hard to strike: I'm unsure of it here. The workd is great, though feels over-processed to my eye, and i wonder if there's enough character in that pose/figure to really communicate. I think it suffers most through a lack of local contrast about his face/head - placed against darker areas it might have been more effective.

...looks like a R.F. shot?...this looks like such a great place to shoot and the processing is nice and "sooty" but not too sooty, really nice clarity and detail.

I like this, particularly the contrast between the devasted interior and the daylight outside. What I'm not sure about is the portrait bit - ideally, I think I want to see more of the subject's face - some interaction between them and the photographer.

i'm sure there's a story here somewhere, but you've put most of the burden on me and my imagination to draw it out, rather than offering much in the way of imagery. it's a guy walking away from me. nothing of interest to clue me in as to where he's going or where he's coming from? more than likely, you could have gotten a better shot at the bus stop.

Background seems a little distracting.

I like the idea. the building doesn't look real high though. maybe get a little lower next time so you only see 1/2 of the buildings in the background.

I like the desaturation, but I find the main subject quite uninteresting. No "wow" factor.

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry in this challenge.

To me this is an uninteresting candid of the back of a man walking to the bus or home. I really find little "kick", if you will, and there is really no story. The title says lost in time, but I don't get that from the photo either. It isn't like he is dressed in period clothes or looks lost. But I don't vote on titles anyway. The candid itself just doesn't do much for me I'm afraid. It's a 3 photo to me.

The composition would be stronger if you cropped the vehicle from the right edge of the frame. It's a bit distracting.
