I like everything about the image except for the editing, too much fill-light?8

What a cool location. The hand in front of the face and shadows are perfect. Well done.

The graininess works really well! Great point of view, it's very much a film noir style image.

Good attempt. I like it for the challenge theme. However, I think you would have achieved a more noir mood if the light was tighter on the subject. He's holding up his hand like he is being spotlighted/blinded. So if you were able to concentrate the light on his upper torso, and left the surrounding area darker, this would have been a stronger image.

Looks good, but for me it's lacking some tension. It could use some shadow play. For example, a bright flashlight shining down on the guy or a large silhouette of the guy he's being chased by might have given the image more of an edge, IMO.

Sorry for commenting so many times. I keep noticing more.

For this one, I think you could sharpen more, but with less specific detail. To clarify, I mean that if you sharpen with Unsharp Mask (USM), use a slightly high radius, but also a higher threshold (but not too high; I usually keep it around 7-10).
