This looks very good, with great exposure but I get the feeling it has been oversharpened or a little too much contrast added. But I could be wrong. Compositionwise I think I would like to see more of the steps down and perhaps a little off centered. But all in all you have handled this very well indeed and all the above is minor.

I have a total lack of respect for anything connected with society, except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. Brendan Behan
This image is exquisite. The tonal range is just perfect as is the dof and exposure.
It's the lampposts that seem to be nagging at me. My eyes want to either see them as the subject or the sound as the subject but not both. Right now, I keep trying to look past them but wind up right back on them.
Striking shot, but also a lot of distractions. I say it's successful, but I agree with D. that those lampposts seem to create a blocking effect. It's like we want to get beyond them, but they form a wall that stops us. The symmetry is nice with them, though the left one being farther away makes it seem scewed. the black and white was a good choice.

Hello Tom , a little sharpened ? Perhaps ... I agree with you about the steps , sad to say the steps did appear in my slides but somehow i've learned that scanning thru Photolabs do have limitation as there'll be cropping involves , well at least thats what they tell me .. Guess its time to get a film scanner myself .. ;)

Ha ha ha the lamp post and the steps(which were cropped off by photolab) suppose to play the role as to invite a viewer's eye to enter into the pic ... well i guess it has failed
miserably ...
Another great shot juzzus! The lights don't bother me, I actually like the pearly bright whites and the contrast they add to this shot. The problem however is in their placement as they seem to obstruct another important element, the bridge like structure behind them. Overall I like it, though I agree it might be a bit too sharp and contrasty I think that's also what makes this shot very attractive.
I also love how you frame your shots and might steal the idea from you for my next few shots ;) if you don't mind that is.

BANG!!!! Impact!!!! This is really stunning, perhaps if you had got just a little lower you would be able to get around the "blocking problem" that the others are referring to, great sky and very nicely finished inc framing.

I'll take that as a compliment ... can't be any happier if you steal the idea ... hahaha
Hope to see some of your shots soon ... Cheers
