A single figure small
Nottingham Playhouse Theatre has a sky mirror which appears on the tourist attraction signposts. Early October was still fairly warm so the parasols were in place detracting from the reflection in the mirror.
As I walked around the corner towards the theatre I was surprised to see this chap having coffee. He was sufficiently far away from the mirror so as not to be in the way of the mirror. His back is towards the black wall and being back lit adds contrast and makes him appear more noticeable. He is placed off centre and looking into the frame, giving the viewer an indication of the distance between him and the foreground (sense of scale). In the scale of this image, the sitter loses his identity.
