All comments/critique welcome.

Wonderful effort on this shot. I like so many things about your image, the dramatic sky and the house are great. The man seem a little unnatural in the sand in front, though his presents makes the shot. I think as other have said it is a conversion contrast issue with him. This conversion to B&W thing has turned me everywhich way but loose. I think your first photo was better than the second version for just this reason. From a composition stand point I would have perfered the building on the right out of the shot and the steps a little less centered. I didn't mean to be as critical as this post sounds, because I really loved your idea and the overall image in very nice. You are certainly proving yourself to be a top notch image maker and this will sometimes lead to being held to a higher standard. Keep posting we can all learn form your images.

I just adore the first shot. It's very pop-arty. If you could use your photoshop skills to clone out the house on the right you will have yourself a very cool shot. The second is a bit soft for my liking of this particular shot. I think it calls for sharp contrast. For some reason this pic makes me laugh. Thats good, thats good! lol
