No its not a person but I like it, the detail in in the lamp, and glass with the marks from weather, the background of the wall adds to more of an abstract feel. I used an 81a filter also and converted it from color to b/w from raw into tiff.

This is a nice black and white. I particularly like the shapes and the textures moreso than the subject itself. The composition here feels slightly 'squeezed'. I don't know if it was possible or not, but creating a little breating room on all sides of this light fixture could possibly create something even stronger. I'm estimating that you are probably hearing comments about how this meets the challenge as well so I won't expand on that. I think it's a great image :) = 8
title decribes challenge well but photo does not. I usually do not look at titles and had to because I wasn't sure how this dealt with challenge. Make your photo say it all.
Only the title here says anything about "expectation", sorry. Feels like a pic taken and then forced into the challenge so it could be used. Otherwise, excellent photo.
