I, too, like the contrast and effect on this image. The corner being dark also works for me, as they add to the "grungy" feeling of the place. If I were going to be extra picky, I'd try to create a bit of a base for the foreground wooden support that is slightly cropped. There also seems to be a small bit of the pipe remaining on the right slightly below center that I'd suggest removing. This is just different enough from most competition subjects that it hopefully would stand out for that reason. |

I agree with the others. This is another fantastic portrait! I, too, might darken the coat just a little more, but otherwise would leave this one as you have it. Just looking at this makes me want to know more. |

I like the way you composed to have the viewer look down along the corridor. As others already mentioned, I do find the bright spots on the walls and floor distracting, so I suggest eliminating them. It looks to me like there already are a couple people there. Perhaps darkening the one in the back and lightening the one on the left side would resolve the concerns raised by Diana about a point of focus. |

Apparently, I'm the odd one out again, as I prefer the "original 2" color version. It brings out the rust, chipped paint, cracked windshield and other evidence of wear and tear that I feel blend together more in the monochrome conversion. Like others already mentioned, I find the bright spots in the sky to be a distraction in your final version, so if it is your preference, I agree with the suggestion to mask or otherwise darken the sky. |

For some reason, the zoo doesn't think an unobstructed view of the lions is the best idea! Thus, I have to shoot over a wooden railing and about three feet beyond the railing through a large mesh fence. When the lions are not too near the fence, my zoom lens (100-400 mm) blurs it out completely. However, if they are near the fence, as in the example photo I've attached below, it doesn't work very well and requires some extra editing and cropping to eliminate the distractions from the fence .... or retaking the photo when the animal is in a better position. |
