Sigmund Freund lookalike, Musée de l'Orangerie, Paris

I was initially attracted to the symmetries between the steps, the huge windows and the shadows. The photo still needed the right character to appear and so I was very happy when the old man with the hat and overcoat appeared. Luckily the crowds parted at just the right moment (the museum was ridiculously busy) and I was able to capture him slowly and quite poignantly descending the stairs.
