Walking through Grand Central, NYC on my way to work the light was so beautiful shining through the windows. I went up the stair case to take a picture of this woman on her cell phone. Took about 4 shots and this was one of them. There were some other people in the shot so I burned them out. The resulting shot with the man walking away created a relationship that wan not actually there.

Great composition here. The viewer can instantly ascertain that there was an argument or some other contact/conflict here resulting in someone leaving. Surprisingly emotive shot. Love the shadows and somewhat muted color tones. Very nice work.
I think you did well in capturing a high contrast image. Unfortunately, I find the man walking out of the picture distracting and leading my away from any other part of the image. I wonder how this would look with him cropped out?
