 Taken on my way to the pub, actually! The evening light was lovely and this guy struck a lonely figure as he walked over the bridge. Fairly minimal editing - B&W conversion in channel mixer, small amounts of dodge and burn.

The light here is indeed wonderful. Creates a lovely isolated world in which there are two - the man, the light pole - each absorbed in its own reality of a sort.

Great study in B&W. I'm not sure how much dodging/burning you did, but the guy in black stands out perfectly against the lighter bridge.

Great scene. Nice timing get the guy all by himself, walking lonesomely across the bridge. Nice depth to the shot.

Excellent range of tones. Nice comp, leading lines. Invites us along for a nice quiet walk...to the pub? Sure, let's go.

He must be on his way back from the Pub! :) This is great - love the BW and the symmetry. Excellent job.

Good thing it was taken on the way to pub...it would likely be quite blurry if you were returning from the pub! ;-) I really like this...the texture, tone and light are quite striking!

Nice conversion. Like the vignette - really works to evoke the lonely mood of this shot.

So quiet...lovely B & W work here. The way the light is striking the pavement on the bridge almost makes it looked "cushioned/padded"...a very striking effect.

Nice vignette - looks to be natural. Love the single figure. Great symmetry too.

I like the conversion, and your general use of d/b. The trees frame the bridge well.
