 Had fun shooting for this challenge because I love Jagar's style. Was lucky enough to get this shot because I went on a Sunday and was taking pictures when the Mass congregation was being let out. I found it interesting that all the members milled around upon exiting but these two walked as if they had important business to attend.

Hello from the Critique Club

You certainly accomplished the goal of emulating the style of Jagar. A nice of use of the rule of thirds and the black/white conversion is excellent.
There is a wonderful juxtaposition between the two men, like they are both going to work but to two very different places.
There is not much to improve in this shot, as reflected by the scores and comments. If I had to make one nitpick, and this is really reaching, it would be to crop from the top just a bit lower, i don't know that the extra negative space adds to the image. But that is purely personal preference.

This is an image you should be proud of, congrats on the new personal best and top ten finish!

And I'm thinking they did - have important business to attend to, that is. Very decisive capture. Congratulations on the top ten.

Clothes often make the man, at least in our subjective view. I like that you didn't crop it more.

What an excellent backdrop! One wonders if the gent behind is carrying the basket for the robed gent, or if their paths just happen to collide at this moment.

the monk is shadowed by a spike-tailed demon carrying a basket of sin.

If the young guy didn't look so north american I'd say this is Johns entry. Well done anyway.
