I'm in a B&W mood and like it how the bright spot in the wall coincides with the section of the wall that is in focus. This is partly caused by the way the wall is in real life and partly because of lens vignetting.
I chose f/1.4 because I remembered a portrait where a young lady stands next to a brick wall. Only her face and a small section of the wall are in focus. Wanted to use that for the shallow dof challenge, but no girl no photo.
The wall is yellow/orange red. The black stones are the most red stones. They turn black because I used a channel mix to monochrome with a negative red value.
Nothing spectacular.

Nice simple pattern and texture. I'd like focus on the entire image, however, and the triangle of black at the bottom right corner should be cropped out.
