I love the shadows and the uncentered person. Great Job.

Very dramatic... well done! Some might say that it's too dark but I love the mood and contrast.

Stands out from the crowd for several reasons. It's not overtly about grand architecture, but it sure is all about man's relationship with his (man-made) city habitat, and I'll prefer that every time. The use of light is masterful, and there are plenty of small but important details to add spice to the pot; the No Standing sign, the portentous number over the doorway, the harsh steel grille on the window, the descending entry steps, the papered-up display window, and of course the despairing and lost human figure. Fabulous composition. Beautifully processed too (although I'd very probably have still admired it even if the post-processing was crap). 9.

Good picture but to me the subject is the person and not the building.

I can see a really interesting picture behind the unfortunately placed shadows. In particular, the shadow cutting off the head of the person sitting there ruins the effect.

I see it is supposed to be dark I think it's a little too dark. You could have lighten it up or dodged or something.

Great picture, moody, b/w rendition works well. I am ambivalent though about how the picture fits the challenge. Still 7 from me.
