Very nice Warren. Not sure I have ever seen Brooklyn St. Great vertical element that contrasts with his position leaning forward.

Very nice geometries! Just a side question, maybe I asked you before -Do you shoot in b&w or edit in post process? Some people are surprised to hear of shooting in digital b&w, and not raw and converting later, since raw holds so much more data than jpg.. but I wonder if the quality of b&w composition is something that is more easily recognized by the photographer when shooting straight b&w rather than converting a colour image. What do you think? (question open to anyone) Either way, I feel that this image is an excellent use of b&w format.
Thanks for the comments Dan and Lea.
Lea, you asked a very good question. I think photographers who have experience with film have an easier time shooting digital b&w as raw, then converting later, because that's how film shooters have 'seen' anyway.
In my own case, I shoot in RAW and convert later either in LR or a combo of LR and Silver Efex Pro. If you shoot with an optical viewfinder, then you are 'seeing color' by default.
I would love to read answers from others, to this question.
