Description

I thought of this one in considering composition with simplicity in the backgound.
Lighting was late day side light with lots of shadows for drama.

Exif: F Number: 32, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/6 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 190.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D
