 This is a crop from a photo taken for the triangles challenge until I realised its potential here. Curves auto mono adjustment, channel mixer - mono and another curves to increase contrast. Very minor cloning of distracting detail in gutter.

Guessing E301 from the style and subject matter. Eye-catching symmetry really grabbed my jaded attention.

A two fer! A silhouette and a shadow. I really like the starkness of the image. The B & W is extremely effective. This image has a great late night mood to it, suggested by the starkness and that touch of "grain". The light on the brick wall is also wonderful, just really nicely done.

I love the artistic feel of this photograph. Its so simple and lovely. The details in the brick contrast so nicely with the dark subjects and shadows. The perspective is nice too, as they are walking into the picture, getting closer to me, to where, perhaps, I might see who it is.

Good treatment to accent the silhouette. The bricks create an immediate atmosphere that plays well on the man and dog.

I like your use of shadow elements as part of the composition.

This is quite cool. The contrast was maybe tweaked a little much.

Love the compositional parallels here. For my ideal, I would have had the contrast a little less heavy - or perhaps that's sharpening: the brick0wok has become unreal, and the strangth of the composition would have been enhanced, I would think, by keeping this in the real world more. It's still a highly interesting shot, however.
