I love these 'slice of life' shots. The B&W is great, as is the texture.

For me, it's the reflections in the windows that add the finishing touch to an already-strong photograph.

The shadows really add to this. Great capture.

Comment by Bear_Music:
The tonalities on the right half of this image are fantastic. To my eye there's too much of the very flat-lit wall on the left; it is the least interesting part of the image and it is almost dominant. I also think it would work better if you had set it up so the converging verticals were symmetrical; lining up the right edge vertically has leaned everything else over badly to the right and it's an unnatural way of seeing. On the other hand, this IS the perspective challenge, so perhaps the unnatural perspective was your goal?
