 Thanks for all the kind comments and votes.
This picture was going to be my free study entry but at the last minute I realised I could add some text and a border and enter it here. If I'd thought about it some more, the expert editing rules would have allowed me to straighten the slightly skewed look caused by the sloping floor of the arcade.
Anyway, I've now entered my second choice picture in the free study so fingers crossed.

The contradiction is funny: mobile vs never leave your own little world.
I simply love the b&w tones and the symmetry.
