love the feel of this image. great texture and tone balance. The large man draws my eye. Not sure if tha tis good or bad because I can't see the picture if I try to hide him. :) Well, yes I can, kind of. Image works better and is more visually interesting with the runner. The short one runs like and old man. :) 8, may pass again.
I'm not fond of this picture. It looks more like a bridge underpass and not a building which in my opinion doesn't meet the challenge. Altho the structure is very nice the runners are to distracting to get a feeling for the picture. I do like the B&W conversion tho as I think it adds to the age of the structure. Good luck in this challenge.
