Default Over the concrete, under the sea.



I was walking around town when i saw the lonely man sailing and had the idea for the composition. Give me feedback on the colors and composition, some doubt: the man is distinct from the buildings? colors cause confusion? sometimes think it would be interesting to do a half-a-half black and white and color. I would appreciate your comments.

Hm, once I read your text, I noticed (paid more attention to) the man. Before then, the skyline dominated the composition for me. I think that, if you were somehow able to re-shoot from an angle where the man is a little more isolated from the skyline, then it would be much more effective. It's a good idea, but the skyline more or less hides the guy, as opposed to emphasizing the size difference.

Colorwise, things are good. I'd give the partial B&W conversion a try, just for fun, but I think that you need to recompose.
