Art deco window in old optometry office in downtown Marietta, GA. Took photo in color and transformed to black and white using levels and hue/saturation, some USM, and NeatImage.

Things that are good about this image: texture on the bricks, composition, and the title is great. It is good as is, but one thing that might improve this is to do something clever with the lighting to give the greys of the window frame a little more contrast relative to the bricks. All in, nicely done, and, an enjoyable chuckle was had by this voter. Thanks for that.
Ack! I bet that kind of window would be a 'pane' to replace, too! How would this image have looked if you'd shot straight on (avoiding your reflection, of course) and only shown these four blocks, nothing else?
The lines in this image play well with b/w, but there's something missing... It seems to me as though this image is too literal; I'm not finding any reward for taking a second glance because I got it all in the first glance. technically good, but needs some additional soul.
