The grain works here. I like this, although
without the figure it may not have stood out
enough for a save me vote. With it, it stands
out enough for me to give it my vote.
Personally I don't like the person where they
are. They're way too dark. The grainyness
is alright, but it seems more like you shot
this with a cheap camera more then with
grainy film like a 100. Just my opinion
I actually prefer the muted greys here - but
the monk has to go. That splash of plugged-up
black ruins the whole shot for me. That and
he looks as if his proportions are a bit
whacked - like he's shrunken.

Great perspective. I agree with Orn S, I like the way the light enters the shot. (1-2-3)

The human scale of the figure contrasted against the sweeping elegance of the structure is what really makes this for me.

I would save it if it was more contrasty. Everything but the person is just the same shade of light grey.

i think that the gray scale is wrong... in "all sizes" there's bad resolution... i think you could do something better

i like this a lot. i like the monk (is he actually a monk?) his darkness and smallness really add to the rest of the shot, giving it scale and depth.

Good shot, but he's not very monk-like, and could be cleaner overall:

The angle is great, as is the perspective. And the black and white works just perfectly.

I know it sounds harsh, but I'd really rather look at The DaVinci Code.

and when will people stop thinking b&w grain implies a picture is art?
