Mister Black Goes To The Wall, a photo from Jerusalem, Yerushalayim

Photographer's Note

The Western wall at Jerusalem
This was taken at 4:00AM during forgiveness time, during the week before Yom Kippur, the jews dedicate to saying forgiveness to god and eachother, on whatever bad they have done.

Though it's the middle of the night, the awestern wall (Kotel) is full of praying men, all dressed in black.

If you can't fighre the picture, It's a man with a black round hat, looking up to god :)
Taken with the Nikon 85mm F1.8

Take a look at "A Different Look At Israel" presentations

I always like a good riddle in a picture. This could also be one side of a gate with a stone ball on top of the post....

The silhouette is totally black and that suits your intention of making a riddle and at the same time the wall is caught at the right exposure.

I think you should crop a bit on the left to make him less centered.
