Quite a lot of dof for a wide open Noctilux!

John -

Very touching, excellent composition, depth, detail, contrast and tonal range.

Poignant. Well done . . .

Touching & poignant are the right words! A sensitive picture of loneliness, & he even uses the electronics of another era. The out-of-focus emptiness, the lack of any interaction - just cars - & the one figure with his back tuned all contribute to the effect.
