Great use of black & white. I love the contrast. I like the perspective, the skewed nature of the window adds to the interest. Fits the challenge well, I get a lonely vibe from the photo. Well done! 7

I like the silhouette idea, but to me, somehow I don't get the feeling of waiting for something - perhaps it's because the beard stops you reading any facial expression, also My eye is immediately drawn to the block of flats

I like the fact that you're using black and white as well as silhouetting the subject. The exposure is just right for a shot like this one.

I guess the angle the camera is tilted at is something I'm curious about. Why is it tilted that way, is there a reason for it or is it simply that way "just because"?

I know the window is giving the best light for a silhouette, but the building in the background seems a bit distracting since it's clearly visible and fairly well exposed. I think that closing the window would help obscure the building and keep the attention on the subject rather than what's behind him. Either that or using a smaller f/stop (larger aperture) to create a shallow depth of field which would in turn blur pretty much anything outside the window.

I hope this helps,

Lens flare spoils the pic. If you wished to make a silhouette of the subject you had to expose with a shorter time.
