Thanks, Doug. I agree that the phone boxes don't provide much of a subject by themselves, iconic though they are. That's why I tried to use them to lead the eye rather than arrest it. Following Sam Abel's advice "find an interesting background and wait for something to happen", I stood there by the iconic London phone boxes and shot passing iconic London buses and taxis; then the man walked into the scene.
