Saw this old man just taking a rest outside a derelict building in Porto and thought it would make an interesting shot.

Quite the setting and backdrop for the man.

And good good timing/selection to have captured a posturing that works with the setting.


A creative suggestion..

Curious as to what a Black & White conversion would do to the overall visual impact, and perhaps 'statement' ... that your image makes here?


Compositionally, I think you did well. Although not quite a centered subject ... and perhaps more importantly, not having been there ... the angled light/shadows captured fill the frame (creating some interesting shapes/forms) and complete/complement the placement of the man within frame.

Colours are nice and natural. Exposure is good good.


Caveats.

Do you employ the Burn Tool on the wall of the upper floor, off and up to the man's right (this perspective)?

Perhaps in the editing chair, this might work as well:

Tony Kuyper Photography - Tutorials

Time and opportunity permitting, take a look at "Luminosity Masks", "Luminosity Painting", and that of "Painted Masks" in particular. (Jump into the post processing world of Layers and Masks.. screenshots accompany the text to aid in that end.)

That said..


Nice shot.

And but of course, thank you for sharing this one with us.
