As a preface, I've been backpacking China for some time now. I arrived in Guilin, Guangxi Province, China, just after sunrise. This man was waiting alone on the adjacent platform, probably for a connecting train that was due to arrive for a while. In the distance, as is so representative to me of China these days, lies a crane, a symbol of their continuous dedication to expansion.

this did not deserve to score so low.
I gave it a well deserved 10

There's a whole hidden story here, and we listen to it drunk, forgetting who it was about and how it ended. Thus the tilt.

cool image...straightened would look a little more clean.

Wow! Most moments like these pass by unnoticed. Great job!

Interesting scene but the dark top that curves downward to the right and the the bottom dark area are distracting. I think bringing the reflective ground to the bottom of the photograph would of been a better solution. Also the side of building where the sun is half hidden splits the photograph down the middle. I think a better composition could have been achieved with this shot making it more appealing. I do find the tone and the city building along with the Crane in background interesting.

imo the title doesn't really fit the picture. it seems very busy to me.

the tilted horizon doesn't help the picture, IMO. I like the lone figure though. Nice imagery.
