I love the skewed perspective and odd POV. I have a poem with same title.

Crossing


This is the chorus.
The crosses are here. Arise.
Telephone poles are not a coincidence.

Someone familiar has not seen you.
She turns around. The meaningless symbol
breaks your heart. Your imagined world
is attacking you from pointed spaceships,
like rain squeezing through a window.

This is the chorus.
The crosses are here.
The telephone poles are real.

A trainyard of pieces of trains
and pieces of track. They go.
You merely continue. You are inside
a whole train. You are so sure
that you are parallel to your life.

But the crosses are here. Rise.
This is the chorus.
The telephone poles died for a reason.

Maybe a crop without the lamp and the white line on the left should have been a stronger photo

Great eye for composition; very nice image

Nice angle! Would've worked better without the strip in the lower left corner, at least for me.

Excellent graphic qualities ... oh what being able to crop would do for this one (to exclude that lampost at bottom and other crosswalk hash in the lower left).

Should have cropped out the top of the light ... would have been perfect!

Nice point of view, but I had cropped more to avoid the lamp at bottom and the left whithe band.
Otherwise good shot

Although person may be intended as the main subject, the cross walk pulls the eye as the main focus.

The lamppost and white line in the lower left are a bit distracting, but overall I like the mood here - feels like a deserted street, lonely man, head down. Quite unassuming and minimalist.

the diagonal does a great job of drawing your eye around the frame

Nice. Love the dirt tracks on the white of the crossing. The position of the lighting post top is questionable. 8

I think it would have been so much better if you cropped out the light at the bottom, which of course would have had to be in camera as you coupledn't crop in this challenge...I like this though, well spotted
