I don't know. This shot will probably get hammered by the voters. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment :-) I had a really nice sunset pic that I was thinking about entering. I suppose I wish to be more daring. I like this shot better...even though I'm sure most will not! You see, I dig trying to find stuff like this. And I throw it out there, hoping to find a small spattering of one or two folks that can see something there, as I can. So go ahead voters, give me your worst. And thank-you in advance to that someone that finds merit in a shot like this :-)

i completely got this! and it's much better a submission than a ten a penny sunset. free study entries shouldn't be conventional, shouldn't be something done countless times before, and this was as far as i saw completely unique. so kudos for knowingly not chasing votes!
- I like the black and white
- Great work on the contrast
- Nice composition, for the most part! I would however crop off whatever is in the bottom right corner.
- The subject matter is somewhat dull.

really really like this one. it's obviously not a conventionally beautiful photograph, but it has the benefit of feeling real, urban, and interesting. composition, is terms of placing of the relevant pieces, is exquisite. there are really so many interesting details, but it all gels together very nicely. you should try selling this photo poster-size to the bookshop. anyway, the b&w is nicely executed, exposure feels a little overdone but not by much (lots of very light and dark, so technically looks a bit tricky). really nice - 9.
