It's an excellent shot, one of my favs in the challenge so far. Strong composition, but I think that the subject is a bit small, especially given size restrictions at DPC. On a huge poster, this would look fantastic. Also, I think there is too much mid-range gray in the image. Deeper blacks would "anchor" it better.
Looks like a fabulous get-away-from-it-all hotel! : ) Great location and a very interesting shot. My eyes would like a heavier contrasty editing style on this shot but very nice as is. 8
There are so many wonderful things going on in this image. The line of the railing takes you around the photo and the smooth gray tones really make the person smoking blend into the surroundings. Very interesting street shot.
