I really like this shot and I think the only thing that I see that coule use improvement in my opinon is the whites. Or lack there of actually. There are blacks and greys, but no whites.
I like the black and white you chose. I keep picturing this in color and seeing a white/plain sky. So I think it was a good choice to go with black and white. Also, I think it makes the detail/textures stand out a bit more than maybe they would have if there were colors distracting from the building.
I like the angle. Very creative way to get most of the building in the photo without zooming out so far that the building is very tiny.
Something I find odd are the light dots to the left of the words "Lowertown Depot". The reason it seems odd to me, is cause it looks like braile. lol. Makes me think "why would they make a huge sign on the side of a building into braile." I know it's not, but still makes me wonder what it is.
Focus and clarity seem very good. I can see good detail in the building and surroundings.
A very good shot, where my only suggestion would be more whites. Otherwise wonderful.

Flat; needs more contrast (or color?)

Good stretch view. You balanced sky, building and ground well. I think a little more contrast would have helped.

A well composed photo. I like the way it draws the eyes thru the photo. Excellent clarity and nice B&W conversion. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <8>
