Love the high contrast. Beautiful lines and the silhouette of a person make it a very unique and so creative photo. As always admire a lot!

Beautiful composition with it's geometric lines, rich black tones and the solitary person to put it all in perspective.

very interesting geometrical composition with all the lines forming a finely detailed web! the solitary person walking by in the distance acts as a great reference and focal point!
