Very effective shot to me - and considerably underrated. Almost like a race of aliens, just hanging out, watching the world go by.

A nice idea that needs rather more to make the image work for me.

Fantastic use of soft focus and grain to create an effective and evocative image. Probably my favourite here.

This looks like a really interesting building. I bet when the sun shines on it the colors are bright and vibrant. I'm curious about the textured diamond shapes too. I don't think you can do much with the way the weather was, but I would love to see this with a little more contrast.

You are getting better at controlling your exposures!!. This is well exposed, maybe 1/3 f stop low, but it could be corrected with curves an levels. Too bad there were not interesting clouds in the sky. With that lens you could try a wider composition at 18mm to get some ground. Maybe you did but there were some ditracting elements you did not want to show.

Very interesting building and some great colors. You too (like me), chose an interesting POV for your architecture shot. Many folks don't like to be this close.

Beautiful work, I like your choice of DOF and ISO, it really gives me a feeling of looking back in time. Wonderful tones as well this REALLY works as a b/w shot, color just wouldn't cut it, great decision to go with b/w.

This looked great in thumbnail but the grain spoils it for me a bit

The grain and focus really work well, as does the square crop and b&w - which for me gives a real 'memory' feel. I think you've met the challenge better than most so far by it being such an evocative shot/edit.
