| Terrific shot - the contrast is great. Really interesting lines and composition. You really got a lot of tonal range for B/W too. Nice work. |

I love this picture and have been meaning to make a comment on it.
The crop doesn't bother me, because I get the feeling that we are looking at this from, perhaps, a second story window. My eye is drawn along the line of the second story windows of the buildings in the picture.
It might be nice to see this picture in color, but b&w works fine for me.
My only quibble would be the big white border. Given that we are limited to 640 pixels, I hate to see them wasted! I'd rather see the pixels expended on the picture, cropped just the way it is, than on the border.
This is a great picture. I wish I'd taken it. 8)

Adi - What attracted me to this in the first place was the fact that these shop fronts are fast disappearing in a world where everywhere is beginning to look like everywhere else - the Starbucking of the planet as I call it, these old fashioned family run places will soon be gone.
What interested me was the texture of the roofs, the old chinese signs and the age of the place, that was my focus. The 'bottom' of the image holds no more interest. But I value your opinion;)
The B&W does give a feel of the past and I took the original image using B&W film and then scanned the image so I have no colour version. To answer your question RGO - no this part of town is rather tired, old and dirty which I like, with muted aged, drab colour, which has probably sealed it's fate.

The crop is great and the border doesn't work so well.
I do think a COLOR shot of this would be extremely cool. The bw evokes a certain sense of the past, but this part of town is fairly vibrant, no? |

The b&w is perfect and the border works very well.
however, the crop is too tight IMO.
The more problematic area is the botoom. there's no starting point anywhere. I don't get to see where even one of those shop fronts start. This gives a feel of a mistake.
I think that if you want to crop a photo like this, you must make your viewer feel this was exactly what you meant to do. The crop has to make the photo say something else then what it would say otherwise.
I don't get this feeling form this photo :-(
On the other hand, maybe it's just weird me...
