I'm really really loving this idea! I like how the pipes lead your eyes downward. The black and white combined with the shadows, contrast, and unique lighting make a really cool photograph. Only thing I really don't like is at the top left hand corner where there is a black distracting empty space. Great job on this photo, I hope it does well in this challenge!
nope....but im guessing you are watching your score go up and down up and down...LOL that aside, nice pic, dont know if I care about the B&W, and the lightings a little dark at the bottom.
I love the b/w conversion on this. The tones are fabulous! I also really like the close crop. Excellent texture and depth. Dunno 'bout the rest of the voters (since I'm a little different than most) but I think you hit a home run with this one. You'll have to humor me and let me know if this is whose I think it is. I'm adding this one to my faves right now. :o)
