i think you have been taking some great shots in this side challenge, but this one knocks them all into a cocked hat..Stunning backdrop which the foreground adds to magnificently especially in the B&W medium.. My bet is that this picture would be better than anything that came out of the shop that it captures

Openning the thumbnail gave me a wonderful 'wow' moment

Fantastic! Thank you

interesting shot, I cant lie and say its my favourite of yours in the B&W challenge, but what I can say is that I love the fact that a real photographer can see beauty in perhaps the most unexpected places. Your railway station shots always get that across to me and this one does too

I really like the minimalism of this shot but the fact that every pixel (including the 'dead' space is just right)

Different and I like it a lot

This is beautiful

Absolutely outstanding sharpness tones and contrast

The shadows of the fencing are really tight and appealing

Love the perspective (what did you do, dig a hole???) which makes for a great image

Possibly could have had a bit of tonal/contrast tweaking

OK, a couple of things here...

Nice image in itself, but having looked at the original shot I can only applaud you in the pp work you have done on this shot, which has really paid dividends on this image

I know from previous posts/entries you say you have been struggling a bit with PP but you have cracked it in this shot BIG TIME!!!!

Great leading lines created by the sun, and the strip of light makes for a great frame for the cat

I struggle personally with sharpening on my own shots...I love clear but sometimes overdo it a fraction and possibly the same is true here

Dont know why but I also find the tablecloth in the background really appealing for some reason

Bath Time (Day 6)

I love this perspective, the dog almost seems to have a human/alien type body (goodness does that make any sense at all?)

Dof is wonderful

the pupils of the dogs eyes seem a touch off (almost like red eye in B&W)

Really like this as an offbeat (and for some reason slightly scary) shot

Another really nice shot from the subway. Strangely although the two main subjects are perfect in terms of rule of thirds, I find my eye being drawn to the background characters in the centre of the shot (framed between pillars)

Nice to see that it is not just on the UK underground that people in such close proximity as those in the foreground can so patently ignore the others presence

Nice composition elements and for me the grain works well. I love the empty space on the left, though the whites of the cloud in this area seem a touch blown out (which may have been the intention, in which case apologies)
