Intent

Behind the frame

What I was trying to do:: The Ayes Have It... This image was captured whilst walking over Westminster Bridge on a cold and grey day. Spotted the old man on the bus wearing a cravat with a somber look on his face, his mood reflected the feeling of this day. A happy accident is the reflection of the Houses of Parliament.
What worked:: At the time I was only photographing in B&W. and feel the monochrome nature of this image captures the feeling and mood of the subject.
What I'd do differently:: Honestly... Nothing I can think of BUT I'd be open to suggestions.
