 Adjusted levels and sharpened a little. Had taken several seven shots and although this was not initially my favourite, I liked the effects and detail when converted to B&W and slightly adjusted.

A good photo with a rather lame title. Junkmail would imho have been much better.
I like the balance betwen the snow, sky and the dark boxes. -7

I like the color (or lack there of) choice and the fact that I keep looking at it to see other stuff like the locks and papers, etc. GJ.

I like the background of this photo the snowy background. But it creates a cold feeling, like the older days feeling.

Huh? it appears that there are several that are opened. Too many mailboxes.

Too much contrast here, loss of tonal range. I think you might have done this as an artistic gesture. If you have, then it doesn't do it for me. If this was not your intention, I can suggest that you be more careful to preserve the tonal range. The tonal range can be obliterated by aggressively narrowing the levels, or increasing the contrast and brightness too much.

cool. i actually like the posterisation effect here. the severe contrast really boils down the subject.
