About the Image(s)
I walked past this ally which is next to the theater where Hamilton is showing.
I was struck by the man on the left who was sitting there with his plastic shopping bag and walking stick, and I wanted to portray him in the architecture of the alley
1/60, F8.0, Iso 1250 24 mm
I did not do too much in Post processing apart from converting the image to black and white, working on the vertical lines and boosting the contrast

Jen,
There is nothing I can add to what Darrell said. This is a wonderful image. The geometric lines and shapes in the image (especially that cat walks and stairs) make for a very striking, the my eye, image.
I can come up with no constructive suggestions for improvement,

This is great, Jen! I have attempted scenes like this also. I love the repeating shapes and lines, the diffuse light, the people help with a sense of scale, and the eye is lead to the street beyond. The only improvement I might attempt would be a touch more contrast, but that's up to one's style. Posted: 07/15/2017 11:03:39
Jen...
Great leading lines. Your eye goes straight to the man in the focal point. Good image. I agree with Jack, it needs a little contrast.
Well done. Posted: 07/16/2017 08:13:53

More contrast would be better I think. My first impression was that you took this image in a prison. Strange, isn't it? I would like to see men a bit closer, too, crop off the low part of the image. Just below the legs? Posted: 07/18/2017 11:38:12
