Fun. Really dig the shadow. Since the shadow, and thus the background, are so important, the dirt and creases (not sure what the darker streak near the shadow or the lighter portions on the right really are) detract from the overall effect.

Shadow is distracting, too much dead space,.

This shot would have been much better with either the rooster or the shadow in sharper focus. I like his profile as it looks in the shadow.

Shadows usually work well in b&w, however, IMO, this shot needs more contrast, it's more gray&gray right now. Good use of ROT.

I think it would have made a better black and white picture if you just used the shadow on the wall. :)

Looks to me like he's got an evil twin. I think you could have spread the contrast around a little better here. The black eye and white highlight in it show that you do have a full range here, but the rest of the subject is kind of clumped in the middle gray range. I'd increase the gamma, then punch up the blacks a lot and the whites a little.

to blurry and not enough contrast
