Greetings from the critique club!
The black and white conversion works well for this image especially in light of the challenge. The black and white makes the lines more evident and help draw the eye through the image.
While there's not a lot of noise in this image, going with a wider aperture would have allowed the use of a lower ISO setting especially considering it was a mid day shot. The high shutter speed used however created a good sharp image otherwise. I would consider exposing for the sky next time so that more of cloud detail could be drawn out. (That might underexpose other parts of the shot but I'd be interested in seeing if it does though).
The composition is good and the choice of angle excellent. Many shots in this challenge put the vanishing point in a roughly central position. Putting the vanishing point almost outside the frame creates a lot of visual appeal.
The challenge: Previous comments indicate the need for more convergine lines. I disagree. The streets and the buildings themselves create a very definite vanishing point. The choice of topic, while not unique is quite unique in its approach.
