I thought that photographing a lamp standing on it's own in the middle of the street would create a nice contrast between the public space and household item. I think that overall composition is interesting despite that there is no rationale for this lamp to be there.
Converting this image into black & white added more drama to this photograph. Also, strong vignette exposes the centre of an image. In the original image I thought that different colours of a cars and buildings in a background were distracting and dominated the main subject. By looking at this photograph I get the feeling of loneliness and the lamp (light) standing alone could symbolise a hope or play a role of a urban lighthouse for people lost in the streets.
