I did a small amount of post production to give it a vignette. I felt that without it, the background was a little too busy, and it took your attention away from the subject.
By vignetting the picture, I could show more of the whole setting - wet sidewalk and street with leaves, etc.
Very nice photo. The fog? is just a little distracting but is also very purposeful. To me, it adds a sense of loneliness and solitude. Really seems to isolate the character from the surroundings.
Great shot, strong story! Unfortunately not a great sight, but this is kind of normal if you're livin' in Seattle. I like this photo big time, but there's one little thing that bothers me: I can't figure out what's that ''smoke'' around the guy? Digital manipulation, post production, dodge tool,...?
