 He was reading a map, so I figured he was a tourist as well. Processing is just tweaks to recovery and fill light in RAW, then levels and a duplicate layer in soft light blending mode. No tone mapping, no shadows highlights, but it sure kinda looks that way.

I agree with signal2noise. The composition is superb. There are so many visual cues that suggest directions that the position of the tourist couldn't have been any better.

Oh Man! I LOVE THIS ONE! Getting familiar with other people's work in the black and white challenge, this reminds me of E301's work. AWESOME!

I really find this image unique. The 3 things that really jump out at me are (1) his position on the tip of the curve and over the transition from the flagstones to the cobblestones (2) the balance of the bikes on either side of him and (3) the vertical live of him and the two windows above him. You pulled all these together into a really wonderful composition. I'm curious if you noticed all of that in the frame when you took the shot?

The opposing arrows are another component that fits so well into the shot.

Great capture.
