Alone in a Crowd

I took a lunchtime wander around campus with msmulligan and braved my discomfort with heights to lean over the balcony and take this.

I've purposely made it dark, to reinforce the anonymity of the crowd as the thing that struck me was this person seemingly standing alone and apart from the throng around her (graduations are still ongoing here).

Not sure whether I've over processed with adding the grain (yes, yes it was added in, it's not my sensor complaining at the low light.)

I've posted an alternative photo called The Door on the Stairs on flickr.

Best viewed big.

Edit: This blip has now been cropped and re-posted in response to andmoff's comment below. The original has gone on flickr in case anyone would like to compare and contrast.
