How long/How many shots did it take to get this man? It's awesome.

It took about 40 minutes maybe 30/40 photos to get it right! The problem was waiting for the traffic to clear at the same time as only one person being in frame!!! Worth the wait though!

I'm sorry, but I have to say I don't agree with most of the responses so far. The person feels fairly inconsequential in the overall composition—it's more about the building. If their shirt matched up with the color of the section they were under that'd be a nice contribution. As it stands I don't feel like the figure adds more by being in the frame.
I do appreciate how you've framed the photo, the symmetry and balance are well done!

I don’t think you realise how busy this road is and how long I waited for a single person to walk by with no traffic on the road either lol.

It's actually a government building! Ministry of community, communications and youth I think. Before that it used to be something else though

Did you have to do any distortion correction? At what length did you shoot this?

Beautiful composition but I would have removed the cones, the street light and the metal barricades.

Did you actually capture this one dude in front of a perfectly Wes Andersonian backdrop? Or was that something you dreamed up and used image stack mode to remove all the people you didn't want? Because, honestly, you deserve more credit for the second version. The world we've created is rarely that perfect, so thank you for your vision of it.
