Like this a lot, love the contrast and your conversion. and the verticality of every subject within frame. Really good work.

Well composed as mentioned before, the structures in the shot really compliment your subject matter. I also love the processing, it's very gritty and contains a lot of contrast. Good darks in this shot too, well done.

Now this is a great train station shot! I love they mystery here with all the dark tones and the fact that you can't see this guys face. Your shadow details are excellent!

@Craig Persel: i was just thinking how photography can transform a perfectly banal day, with perfectly banal light, into something else. how just altering the distribution of light (with a camera) the scene becomes another thing, an artifice, a 'noir' feeling, a sense of mystery or whatever.that's the miracle isn't it?

I like the composition a lot. And the processing ist great. I'm curious how you get this result. ...with greetings from Orson Welles.

@Lucca: well, i recently bought a new lens. a tokina 19-35 f.3.5. and i'm extremely happy with it. a bit slow, though (i like to take pictures at night) but really contrasty and great colours (and reasonably cheap on ebay) other than that, i was there, the guy was passing underneath and i took the pic
