Compositionally, I think the vertical crop works well. The fence and rails help to lead the viewer's eyes up and through the frame. the walker is also placed at a good spot in the frame.

Technically, I think the bw works very well here, and you have a good range of tones as well as good details both in the brighter areas and in the darker ones. The depth of field you have used works very well on this.

Overall, I think it is a good shot, but just didn't "connect" with the viewers the way some of the higher scoring ones did. Perhaps they didn't feel it was "street" enough, or maybe they've never experienced walking like this. :)

If I need to further clarify or explain myself, please feel free to contact me.

Best to you in future challenges.

My first impression was this was inside a prison! A very powerful shot, well done.

Nice capture - Like the tones and angles - Maybe just a tad boring.
