The enormous windows here function to let in the radiance of the day, which opens up the soaring architecture. The black and white treatment works well. The standing man firms up the scale, yet there's a door in the far distant wall that's seemingly appropriate for Alice in Wonderland. A vacation-style photo that glows.
Compelling, but there is an overall lack of deep blacks. The person doesn't add much to the frame- the tiny door shows the scale of the architecture, so there is no need for the person. In fact, without the person in the frame, the architecture looks even bigger.
