Not sure if this is a macro or not but as a photo regardless of the challenge it is quite nice

I suppose the back side is the building, but it doesn't exactly scream challenge compliance. having your bloke trying to break in does lift it in terms of interest, and appeal. composition wise it feels unsettled; the action is just slightly too much to the right, it's a bit too wonky for my preference, and the chimney breast sits uncomfortably in the frame. i'd have cropped closer; nearer the action, more balanced, and more detail on the funky looking door. the face obscured in shadow initially adds an element of mystery, but ultimately i find it a bit frustrating that i can't see him. the glasses on his face don't help much either. the greyscale might benefit from a little contrast, and brightness dropped a bit to give it a more threatening night time appearance. i feel i'm being too critical. ultimately, i do like it and it has a very cool style.

My First Weighted Scoring System ΓΆ„ΒΆ; composition + technical 1/3, challenge 0.5/1, post processing results 1/2, ooooh factor 2/3, originality 0.5/1 = 5

Good composition and I think the high contrast with the lighting lends itself well to developing the mood of this shot -- dark, mysterious, and just a touch scary.

It's simple things that I like sometimes - here the light and the curves are compelling to me.

I love it. Out of the box out of the gate! Great reflections on the um... door windows. also nice how the people "reflect" the horses in their stride. Nice shot!
