Taken walking around Rome in the Spagna area.

I can't decide if the guy makes or breaks this. The light is lovely.

Thanks for the feedback Chrissy. Most appreciated.

Interesting right angle with the guy and the foreground grey strip. Like Chrissy I'm undecided about the overall shot.

Thanks Chris.  Appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Like Korky, you've developed and personalised a style of editing that I really like.

I think this shot would work with or without the gent.

I think the figure adds to the image a lot. Compositionally, it's very nice.

I'm not sure about the shafts of light that seem to have been added in PP - I think a warm glow from the lights would've given more atmosphere - as they are the lights look unnatural.

A thumbs-up from me, but tempered with a slight thumbs-down!

Phil / Korky - many thanks for looking and providing some feedback.

Looking again I'm not sure it would work without the figure, the panelling on the right would throw the symmetry out, without some PS trickery of course

Thanks Phil. I enjoy taking shots with a view down a corridor. / alleyway etc. You may have noticed.   For this one the guy in the shot was busy on his phone so I knew he was not going to move for a minute or two. So, I decided to experiment and see what I could come up with.   

I am not sure about his inclusion personally. That is why I am enjoying the feedback on this image.  I do like the lights myself. I also could see reflection in the shutter at the end of the corridor as the street was busy.  So I did wait until there were some people conveniently situated for this. 

On the whole I think I like the image myself but I won't be hanging it on a wall.  The good thing with this shot is my learning for the future.
