Watching passers by..

Took this a couple of weeks ago in Croydon. Please critique.

It is converted to B&W. Anything wrong with this? Is the lighting correct? Over exposed? Is the composition as best as could be captured? Anything wrong at all?View attachment 15570

It looks technically okay to me.

However, I always feel a photo like this needs some context; if, indeed, there is any context to provide. Perhaps other photos are needed to provide a theme or story. Who is this guy and why do we care about him? What is the scene we are looking at? Or is it just some ordinary guy sitting on a bench? If so, it lacks subject interest and that is arguably the single most important aspect of a photograph.

So I'd say that in my opinion, the only thing wrong with it is that it is, or seems to be, an uninteresting subject that I'm struggling to care about.
