hello from the critique club, Im Cher and I will be your critiquer today :o)

I see a few things wrong with this photo and I will try to not sound like Im picking on your work but i want to be honest and help you improve.

the B&W you chose to edit this as was a very wise decision for this subject. it gives it the "old" feel and met the challenge this way. While I tend to lean twords darker editing myself I find this photo to be exceptional dark. There arent many midtones to be found in this which I feel is the primary reason that this scored the way it did. While I think your main intended subject is the buildings on the left of the photo my eyes are drawn to the bottom right where the exit/entrance ramp(i think it is) is. for me that is the point of interest you should have exploited better. the darkness of the bottom hinders this for me and leaves me wanting to see alot more detail.good job on not getting the sky over exposed, thats a hard thing to do.

If you have any questions about this critique please PM me. Good luck in future challenges and have a great day!
~~cher~~ :o)

I like the black and white, and I like the contrast though I find it a bit to dark in the foreground. Top 40.
