I had to edit this at my in-laws' house. They have a program called ACDSee Photo Edit. It doesn't even have save for web capability. So to say this one is basic editing is an understatement. LOL.

This place looks familiar (but that doesn't bother me). I wish you had included the tops of all the top columns and nudged it so that they were even with the top of the photo.
What a shame those benches suffer from the dreaded jaggies. If this was mine, it would have driven me to tears. The composition is fantastic however, well seen, and I love the b&w conversion.
I'm editing this to change it from a comment that just said "6" to what I really wanted to type -- and no, "6" isn't your score :) Here are my real comments: I like this image, it's a wonderful black and white with great tones and a wonderful rhythm to the patterns, especially in the benches. I found Waldo fairly quickly, but that's not my test for this challenge (I'm actually looking for interesting images). Part of what I like here is the general emptiness you captured without making it feel cold. It's waiting, anticipating, not lonely. Nice, I give it an 8.
I think that you hid Waldo very well, and I love the scene. However IMO I would have cropped a bit more off the bottom. I do think that you handled the lighting very well. Since it appears to be so sunny, sometimes you can blow out many parts in your shot. However you were able to save the picture with some great B&W conversion. Nice work.
