I like the feeling that he just stepped into this scene. He looks out of place, but at the same time, the building suggests a roof over him and the machinery appears to be bowing to him. I agree about the grain. Very nice.
for me this is a gallery shot, all those lines on the building are just so apealing, and the grain in the image adds to the whole feel of it.
The man on the left walking out of shot makes us wonder about where he is going and this also adds interest IMO, and of course he dark stranger in the foreground almost observing the secene on our behalf... I could go on forever lol
If this was a challenge I would give it a 10, great work.
What I like about this is the total "out of place" feel to the guy with the umbrella. He looks as though he should be standing on the edge of a forest looking in, surrounded by fields on a nice rainy day, and yet he's been suddenly and unexpectedly transported here. He's maintained his sense of serenity just the same.
