Really, I suppose it was the large monochrome painting on the side of the hospital wall, in the background, the masked doctor or nurse, that made me stop and pause in my walk, and get my camera out. Quite eye-catching serious eyes, eh? And she’s very large, too!
There was also, the shop front with all its bright gaudy advertising, a sturdy lurking tree trunk to the left, and the lady with one hand on the pole of the bus stop; she looks a bit tired, or perhaps she’s ill, perhaps just coming from the hospital, and waiting for a bus to take her home?
Gosh, there’s so much in this one! It’s got the look of an old master painting about it, you almost expect a Rembrandt chap, or two, old, with bushy beards, and whiskers, and fancy jackets, loping jovially into shot.
Yes, I think it’s a nice, but slightly lucky, composition.
