I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: This just flat out brilliant - one of the best uses of selective desaturation I have seen because it contributes to the feel and the meaning of the image so effectively. There are so many British elements here - the obvious stuff and the subtle too (the hashed traffic box, the cones and the traffic sign for example). The light is tremendous too.
Critical stuff: The background looks a tad moved and then recovered with sharpening but the strength of the image easily carries it.
Great catch. The title helps to point the viewer in the right direction.
Let me guess... Lots of rain, roadworks everywhere, the royal mail, the tube and war?
The execution could have been a bit better, though. More of the scene in focus, and maybe inclusion of the legs?
