Looks like it could be a scene in a video game. Love the metal curling up on the door.

I like the very graphic feel of this shot, but I am not sure I get the title.

I really like this. The lighting is really cool. I like that he looks like he's totally guilty of something! The only nitpicky thing I can think of is that his foot is cut off. But, still a really cool pic nonetheless.

I suppose the back side is the building, but it doesn't exactly scream challenge compliance. having your bloke trying to break in does lift it in terms of interest, and appeal. composition wise it feels unsettled; the action is just slightly too much to the right, it's a bit too wonky for my preference, and the chimney breast sits uncomfortably in the frame. i'd have cropped closer; nearer the action, more balanced, and more detail on the funky looking door. the face obscured in shadow initially adds an element of mystery, but ultimately i find it a bit frustrating that i can't see him. the glasses on his face don't help much either. the greyscale might benefit from a little contrast, and brightness dropped a bit to give it a more threatening night time appearance. i feel i'm being too critical. ultimately, i do like it and it has a very cool style.

My First Weighted Scoring System ΓΆ„ΒΆ; composition + technical 1/3, challenge 0.5/1, post processing results 1/2, ooooh factor 2/3, originality 0.5/1 = 5

Good composition and I think the high contrast with the lighting lends itself well to developing the mood of this shot -- dark, mysterious, and just a touch scary.
