Photo Analyis: A Rainy Night In London

What works well:

The natural corridor created by the buildings on each side is pretty great. It funnels your eye straight toward the man and then continues upward to the dome, all of that creates a strong sense of depth and a nice 3D effect.
There are leading lines here, but they are subtle, especially the two yellow stripes on the ground. The car headlights behind the man, in a way, also count as leading lines/an attention magnet. Not only do they create a strong spotlight effect that separates him nicely from the background, but also —> your eye naturally goes straight to that bright area first (because your eyes always seek out light naturally).
The layering is really strong, we have the foreground wet street, then the man, then the car and headlights, and finally the dome in the distance. It all stacks nicely and again gives the image a lot of depth.

What could be better:

The leading lines (those two yellow lines) could have been pushed a bit further. A slightly different shooting position/perspective right then and there could have exaggerated those lines more. Or even in post, boosting the saturation or brightness of the yellow lines just a little could have helped strengthen their guiding effect.
The dome is very prominent and well-lit, which almost makes it a second subject. If the intention was for the man with the umbrella to be the only subject, slightly darkening the dome could have reduced that competition. (So, as ever so often it entirely depends on what you are going for)

What works well:

The atmosphere is, I would say probably the strongest part of this image. The rain, the wet ground, the colours, the scene itself set the mood and give it a very cinematic type of vibe
Again the background separation (because of those bright lights) is very nice, the man is dressed quite dark so without those lights he would probably disappear a lot more into the background → we can really see that with the umbrella → since it is nor really in the headlights it immediately fades more into the background
Those rain streaks and reflections on the ground add nice texture and movement, making the scene feel more alive instead of static.

What could be better:

The lamp on the left building is a bit bright and slightly pulls attention away from the main subject. Darkening it just a touch would help keep the focus more centred (overall it is not that bad though).
Some of the shadows are pretty deep, especially in the lower corners, which causes detail and texture to disappear a bit. Lifting them slightly could help without ruining the mood.

What works well:

The man standing alone in the rain immediately suggests solitude and introspection. It feels quiet, calm, and slightly melancholic.
The scale difference between the man and the massive dome reinforces that classic “small human in a big city” kind of feeling.

What could be better:

We don’t really get to see the man clearly, his face, clothing details, or expression are hidden. That keeps the story very open but also limits emotional connection.
Without knowing what he is wearing (a suit, a coat, a backpack), it is hard to guess for example where he is coming from or going to.
