Thanks guys - I was waiting for some different shadows to appear but was starting to get funny looks hanging around under the bridge!

That may have been the trench coat you were wearing ?
Pretty good image Phil, you've made something "out of nothing".

PS : Should we now call you LondonPhil ?

This reminds me of a few photos made by Josef Sudek.

Another brilliant shot Phil. You hit Cartier-Bresson's decisive moment" bang on.

I like the way that you use the lights along the tunnel to lead our eyes into the frame; really well thought out and composed; and from there the light and shadows take us to the silhoutte of the man walking; again our eyes are being guided by the light flaring out from left to right.

Now you're just trying to blind me with your photo art historian knowledge, Mike!

I've just looked him up and thanks, I think!

Thanks Manfred. I'm at a bit of a turning point photographically as my usual 'bread and butter' subject material is lacking in the UK! So trying a change of tack and trying to make scenes work more for me, looking for a human element to anchor the image and add context. It's a good challenge, as I'm completely having to change my mindset while trying to:

a) not share too much in social media, forums etc - trying not to post every image
b) build a catalogue in the UK as fast as possible

After a long walk and many clicks I'm generally happy if I come away with 2-6 solid keepers
