Every once in a while a scene presents itself to you so completely that it would almost be a criminal act not to take the shot.
I had taken myself off to Chester today to get out of the house and grab some fresh air and a change of scene. As usual I travelled there by train and from the railway station and walked into the town centre. Part of the way down City Road there’s a busy road junction with a pedestrian underpass. It has a twisty turny layout. Not sure why, an architectural conceit? Whatever the reason a lone figure came into view in the distance and I just had to take the shot, it was only there for a second or two, it was an instinctive reaction. If I’d waited to size things up the scene that caught my eye would have disappeared. I took a second shot without the figure just as a back up record. There both here so you can think them over and compare.

Thank you, that’s very kind of you to take the time to look and comment. Thanks for the link I’ll check it out! Give it a try, it makes you concentrate on shapes and shadows more than color images do. It’s a great learning experience.
