Black is as much a character in this image as the mysterious man at its top. Very powerful and cinematic, noir. The reflections of merely the orange lanterns and the entering light substantiate the whole, which whole is substantiated many times over here. Balance is adroitly obtained by the positioning of the reflections, the lanterns, the open window on the front left, the wall which leads to the silhouetted figure, that figure and the barely perceptible wall on the right. And they deserve enumeration. I'm mesmerized by that window. I want to read the book or see the movie. Absolutely terrific photograph.
