I caught this man, cup of coffee raised to his lips, striding past a huge fast food coffee advertisement, and added the subway signage at left as a primary foreground layer to suggest a sense of place. This image took about fifteen minutes to find, and numerous false attempts to create. I liked the powerful graphics in the coffee advertisement as a background, and more importantly, it was in shadow. So was the subway entrance. The area between them was illuminated by morning light, which vividly emphasized anyone passing between the advertisement and the subway entrance. I photographed numerous people as they moved through that lighted area, using my burst mode to freeze them in mid-stride within the dark area of the poster between the two coffee cups. Many of the people had just emerged from this fast food shop with coffee in their hands, but only this man was actively enjoying his at the instant I shot.
