Compositionally, I think this is a very strong picture. The diagonal lines help to "move" the picture and keep it from being static/stagnant. Also I like how the steps and railings initially contrast each other, but actually compliment eachother by emphasizing the upper diagonal.

Technically, this is also a well done shot. It is simply, yet pleasing -- very minimalistic. The focus is sharp and clean, and there isn't anything in it to distract the viewer or detract from the subject.

It seems to have a slightly bluish hue/tint to me, which could be my imagination, but it doesn't seem to be a "true" black and white to me. It's not that that lessens the value of the picture, it is just an observation. It makes the shot feel "cool" and sterile, which suits the subject, and the portrayal of that subject very well.

Nice work, and if I need to further clarify or explain myself, please let me know.

I loved the simplicity of this and lighting. Great job and I gave you an 8 during voting. It is a very pleasing composition to me. I might have cropped even closer on the left side to get rid of that last rail, but that is just me.....

stunning beauty and simplicity - far too subtle for this crowd is my guess - but I love it! Here's my 9 to prove it!

Very nice. I really like minimalist astracts; this is every bit of that. DPC voters in general don't like them, as I'm learning over time... But I'll give you a 9.

I think the vertical streaks on the wall make this shot.
Great tones aswell.

Nice job. Good lines. I like the vignetting in the corners...whether they were intentional or not.
