Greetings from the critique club!

A good subject to photograph and definitely worth exploring. The monotone works well given the subject. A bit oversharpened which appears to have created some haloing. I'm not sure if using levels AND brightness-contrast may have been necessary. (Typically you do your contrast adjustment with curves or levels and then leave it.)

The person in the bottom right anchors the image well. It would be nice to see more detail there but its minor. (I imagine that a large size version would show more detail).

Overall, a good shot that works well for this challenge. Well done!

Wonderful shot. Full of texture. The person helps give a sense of scale.

Looks light the bulding was in the shade, so there's no natural contrast at all. Just hiking up the contrast slider seems a solution too easy...
