Sometimes when you take a close look at an image it gives you ideas for the finished picture. This was very much a grab shot, a small group of people suddenly seemed to line-up on the quayside but there was nothing really there, the lighting and sky was pretty flat but just had to take the picture. When I downloaded it and took a closer look I couldn’t help but notice the way the lighting and shadows gave the people relief from the background. That gave me the idea for this picture Tourist
