Hello from the Critique club
An appealing image that meets the challenge
A great and enduring composition with a lot of appeal though the mans gesture with his stick is somewhat ill fitting. I commend your choice of mono and the processing it works very well indeed, this would be nowhere near as effective in colour. My one big issue with the image is the sharpening it has been way overdone, in fact this is the sort of image where none is needed a softer emphasis is more desirable here especially with the atmospheric conditions. It's a real shame because it does significantly mar the end result. But, well done for seeing and interpreting the scene in the way you have done.
It shows the quality of this demanding challenge that your 6 has not placed higher, well done, thank you for your entry.
