I'm thinking this one could use a lot of cropping from the top and bottom and a bit more light.

nice shot for real but somehow the more I look the more I see Obama and Abraham Lincoln together lol...or I'm I confusing

MB1 I find your choice of words and your critiques, most of them actually, not only to be rude but not helpful at all. Why do you think that? How about some constructive criticism? Thanks.

JTcooper- I didn't notice that before, but I do now, I wouldn't doubt it to be intentional.

I would have carried on shooting, to get one with the pedestrian more in the white face so that his hat (is it a traffic warden or something?) showed up, he's rather indistinct against the darker tones at the moment.

I'm not sure I like the tilted appearance form the perspective of this, particualrly since it's made so obvious by the windows at the top. I don't think it adds much to the shot, it looks at first sight as if it's tilted.
What was the intention of this viewpoint, versus going for a straight on shot with horizontals and verticals?
If it's meant to say something, I'm sorry it's fallen on deaf eyes.

I don't think the dark foreground adds much to this, and I'd crop it to just above the base of the reed-like plants. I think the plants are needed there breaking up the line of the wall, but I don't think the out of focus leaves in the foreground are needed. Besides they draw attention to the bark area y their lightness. Crop them off and it's more like a border, with the lighter leaves I get the feeling the image tried to stop at the bottom, but you made it go on after it had finished.

I think this will look better mounted.
Because it's against a white page background on the web it looks dark.
I am not sure if it needs brightening (I just thought of a really cool tool I need) but maybe it is a little short of peak white in the image.

You could try putting a border round it in various shades of grey, like a mounting matte, and see how it looks by tweaking the border darkness. I think you may be able to present it better that way.

I am thinking a crop of the top just below the windows placing the eyes in the upper third of the shot. I like the high contrast and find the center face quit interesting. I think this one could stand on it's on without the cop. Well spotted and nice choice for a B&W.
