I'm not getting much "film noir" vibe here. The lighting is too flat and lacks interesting shadows.

To me this just seems like a black and white image of a gorilla. Not much Noir happening here.

Feels like a bit of a stretch to imply that this guy is sitting atop buildings... 5

I gave this a 2 for several reasons and here is why: 1. The image is poorly composed (the leaves in the lower left corner are distracting as is the light wooden pole behind the gorilla and the top black portion). 2. The subject is not sharp / in focus. Besides the subject being severely underexposed there is nothing which suggests Noir lighting style. No shadow/light play, etc. 3 Finally, King Kong was not a Noir film and thus I believe this image DNMC. In summary, I gave this a low vote because I don't think this image took a lot of thought / effort nor conveyed the mood of the challenge topic.

Cute image, it's not really in keeping with the subject matter of film noir cinema though.
