I think this is a wonderful shot. Both the B&W and the layers combine to give this a whole extra dimension.
I'm struck by the smallness and frailty of the old lady against these huge solid geometric shapes - she looks overpowered, overwhelmed by her surroundings - yet still dignified and holding herself upright.
She is all wrapped up against the cold - but is it the weather ? or the bleak desolation she is keeping out ?
Why I love this = simple geometric background + real human being
That serious lady, her shadow, that amazing wall. I don't see anything like this in my 'hood, which is probably part of why I like this so much. Tones are perfect!
