since I can't see that he/she is wearing a uniform, I think a different title might have worked better. Love the image though, the B&W works well and the textures add a nice gritty feel. That graffiti makes it a little "seedy".

You lost some detail in the photo. it's hard to tell whether he's looking at you or walking away from you.

I’m just not feeling that this is within the Contre-jour technique. Nice shot just not what I think when I’m looking for Contre-jour.
