I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: This isn't a scene that too many people would take the time to capture - I'm glad you have. For me, this is all about the lines, the horizontals, the verticals and the wavy ones! The composition is particularly strong - I really enjoy the proportions of the yellow to blue.

Critical stuff: The white thing towards the bottom of the wall detracts an awful lot - I can't understand why you couldn't clone it out.... perhaps you couldn't pattern match too easily.

Overall: A nice geometric presentation which is pleasing to the eye but is spoilt by the interruption of geometry by the white thing

Watch Your Step

The curtains in the window make me think someone might still live here...

BnW is pretty tricky. I'm not sure this image has enough balance between black, gray, and white to pull it off better than it would in color. There is a lot of gray, and it is all a pretty uniform tone of gray too.

A vignette/dodging and burning would have helped tell the viewer which part of the image you want us to pay attention to. A shallower depth of field would have helped with that too. Since your title is "Watch Your Step," it makes me think you want the view to focus on the cinder block on the ground. Maybe get down to their level, use a shallow depth of field to focus on them, and put the out-of-focus cinder block door step and part of the door frame in the background.
