Description This one was shot at Coyoacan with B&W filter so did no color mod. Did some contrast adjustment to enhance texture though.

I decided to not crop the work flyer on the wall to give another element of thought sacrificing the geometric balance.

The observing elements you should have in mind for this photo are:

- The near vanishing point.
- The guy that tries to stay formal with a very well preserved suitcase
- The barrel that may be seen either as a partner, a protection or simply as part of the city, just as him
- The work offering flyer on the wall that will be likely seen when he stands up.
- The lateral light was perfect to cast a shadow on the flow/wall

This photo has a "Part 2" when I captured this man stood up.

Ha! Perfect! He probably has an 'out of office' note on the wall (top right corner)...

I love the skewed balance on this one, it makes the whole composition look like the man is going to tumble off the right side of the picture.
