Lone figure...Gloomy London night... by streats

Lone figure...Gloomy London night...

...and it rained.

Still struggling badly for inspiration and decent pictures these last few days. Grabbed this quick shot after work, but the weather was awful, which I guess was kind of the point of this shot, was drawn to the loneliness of the soaking wet bench, when this guy hurried past in the rain.
Think you found it with this one. Completely gorgeous - everything about it. Big FAV

Every time you say you are lacking in inspiration you come up with such a fantastic photo. Love this. got to be a fav. It tells such a story and you can feel the atmosphere in this picture. Fantastic. Lack inspiration more often! PS The b&w really adds to this shot too.

The treatment of this has helped to get across the gloominess so well, Ian. You do have a storytellers eye!

This has a very "film noir" feel. Like something you might see in the opening scenes of a movie. Fantastic!
