    The lean is intentional. I've reduced the brightness and added a little contrast.

    Why the lean? It would be better if it were square. You should also sharpen.

    Im not sure I like the lean but I love the subject!

    The corrugated metal gets me dizzy. :)

    The lean is funny, but I wish you were a little farther back to add more context.

    The shot is somewhat soft too. Is it a scan? Or perhaps it just seems that way.

    I like the B&W

    I was trying to add something else with the lean, I thought it might be a bit "boring" without. Perhaps not... :)

    As for the softness, all of my B&W is scanned from negs, so yeah, they maybe be a little soft. At the moment, I'm running an unsharp mask set on high during scanning, as well as additional sharpening in PS. Perhaps I have to look closer at my scanner settings.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I really like the subject, I don't really like the lean. I agree with GB1 I would like to see more of the scene. I would move to the left several steps and back several. I would include the tree to the right.
