I went for a wander around the local CBD to find urban structure that would be appropriate for a black and white. I took about 70 photos at various locations and ended up choosing this.
The biggest challenge was trying to find a balance in exposure between the shadows and sunlit buildings without over/under exposing either. The photograph was taken around 4pm, so the sunlight was intense on the lighter building walls. I wish I could dodge and burn! :)

Has the beginnings of cool shot, nice use of grays... but looking at it, all I can think is "Nice trash,". Think it'd be a lot better without the trash and the car - a much more classic picture.
