Hello from the Critique Club!

I like this image. As another commenter said, there is a timelessness about it. Good leading lines move the eye around the image, and the composition is pleasing. Modern architecture and street furniture, unfortunately, has a slightly cluttered feel to it, and that detracts a little from the foreground, where trees, lamps, signs road markings, road textures etc compete a little for attention. Having said that, they contrast nicely with the clean lines of that fantastic church building!

The image grain is right for the image, and well applied. However, I observe that, for a challenge with image grain as the subject, you have presented a lightly grained image, which is less obviously dependent on the image grain for effect. This may be one reason for the low-ish score (I think you were a bit unlucky on the score front).

Good luck with your next challenge!

i like this, u have the right amount of grain for the image, without distracting it quietly adds and lets u see a different more grabing shot that otherwise would be presented, i hope this at least gets regonized as being timeless composition and a very well taken image in B&W-good luck

Nice. Grain is very subtle (very subtle). Feels like something onut of the 1970s if it weren;t for the modern looking cars. Well done.
