Great Work B&W coupled with the texture of the stone & brick really give this shot a LIFE OF IT'S OWN..
Think the people are a BIG BONUS in this one for contrast in lines & texture.... SOFT vs HARD

Happy Shooting

G'day *MICHELLE*!

With history oozing from every brick and cobblestone this old alleyway looks so dramatic in B&W.
The human element snaps us back to modernity and the brightness of the main street can be a metaphor for a bright future.
Very nicely done!
