Nice play on words! Try cropping this just above the man's head, and toward the left side of the stairs where the shadow comes straight down, and see what you think.
like the composition here, with the shadows on a diagonal to the lines of the steps. his placement in the frame is very good. maybe a touch of burning on the column right above his head (it;s slightly distracting). nice shot.
i wish i could describe how this photograph of "a guy sitting on a set of steps" says so much more to me than most of this site's photographers interpretation of "a guy sitting on a set of steps". maybe it's the fact that it's well composed and the lighting is interesting, the black tie mimicing the shadow on the stairs. all makes me want search more deeply if there are even more reasons for studying this scene.
Very well composed! At first glance my gut reaction was "snapshot" but that impression quickly was gone. I especially like the geometric elements of the photo, and of course also the placement of the subject in the frame. The light and shadow is perfect. 8
