Comment by DrAchoo:
The technicals: The processing is well done. I do think you did a good job with the image grain. Lighting is nice as the high contrast helps the grainy feel. (it's probably a product of the processing as much as the original lighting).

The feel: Creative expression, but much to "stylized" for me. It's obvious it's a posed look. Without the title, what would we have? A charicature. That probably hurt you with a number of voters, but helped greatly with a few.

The game: Image grain is a tough sell here (although personally I love it). This shot was meant to speak to a few, not the mass audience.

Greetmir - Well.... you have achieved more contrast here to make the B/W more interesting. The first issue is that there are not emough clouds or other background elements to offset this rather cool tower. In addition, there is a slight halo around the outside of the building - not too bad considering all the sharpening/ contrast you put in.
OVerall - good job 'rescue-ing'. But I must say that I do like this.

I would like to be kind, but it lacks interest...it's just a picture of a plate with fruits and vegetables slightly off centre...there's nothing to really grab my attention or make me say WOW...I don't know what to suggest that you do here...sorry :-(
