Self Portrait

Taken on a canal bridge in Docklands in East London, over the Regents Canal. Looked around at what could be a possible picture but nobody was around. Waited a few more minutes. Still nothing. Looked down into the pea soup saw MY silhouette and thought “there you go” and the rest is history. A lovely self portrait? Question mark over the beer can??, should it be in the frame or cropped out? Left it in the frame with the prime focus on it, seems to work and adds a human element to the picture. Sometimes pictures can be just under your nose and you don’t even realise!
