The location looks like Regent Street from Piccadilly Circus to me, and that unfortunately takes my attention.

Not quite sure that why it is unfortunate !

I don't know the first thing about the location... but I really like the shot! Excellent capture and the tattoo is a great fit for the scene and mood. Is it someone you know or just a scene you encountered out there? The rain also looks great and while I don't have the comparison of course, I feel like processing it in B&W is a very good choice. Well done!

I like this photo a lot. It makes me look into the distance to see what he's looking for.

Because I feel certain that it is not your intention. (Sorry!)

Thanks, I am glad you like it. I must say I did not notice the tattoo when I took the shots. No I did not know him or his friends. There was a very heavy rain and I was standing in the middle of the rain, trying to capture people around. They came and stopped and I took the shots. The first two were completely candid after this they started to pose. I added the all shots I took and processed one of them colour for reference. I think BW suits better than colour.

Very nice image and I especially like that it's black and white.

If it was me though, I would clone out the arms and bike handle in the bottom right corner. I find them too much of an eye-magnet.

Thank you for sharing 🙂

Thanks for your nice comments. A cleaned up version. I know it is not for purists but I am not one of them when it comes to remove distracting bits.

Yep, I like this version much better and it's easier to initially keep the eyes on the guy and then move onto the background to see what he is looking at.
