I really like this picture mainly because of the its simplicity. The solitary figure sitting at the end of a bench strikes a very serene yet forlorn image. The figure's posture also gives off this feeling of sadness by the way he is slouched against the back of the bench as if tired or even defeated. The use of just black and white helps to reinforce these feelings and thought as well.
Another thing I find that really makes this picture so intriguing is the camera angle and the way that the bars of the bench draw your eye to that figure. By tilting the camera so that it is not just a straight shot of the person definitely adds to the mood of the piece. Also by not filling the background with clutter, the artist is able to portray his message more clearly and allows us as an audience to interpret his work more precisely and connect with it on a more personal level.
