"Meet me by the steps"

Love the long depth of perspective in this one, and how the figure in the foreground is so important within the frame. Although the scene is complex, including many subjects and a lot of context, you immediately perceive an ideal line connecting the two main characters. Masterful use of backlighting, shot from a position in shadow.

I think @Gianluca Drago sums it up well. The only thing I can add is I like the way sunlight has highlighted the main figure's hair, lifting their silhouette from the shadows. Great shot.

Great shot that conveys the title well. I like the Loweryesque background too, almost a picture in itself.

Thanks for this critique, Gianluca. It's much appreciated.

It's the little things like that that make all the difference. A pain silhouette would have been a tad boring.
Thanks for commenting, Ralph.

Thanks, Tony. Those steps are a favourite location of mine for the Lowery perspective that can be achieved from the top. I've shot from there many times but so far this is the one I'm most pleased with.
