You really captured the neighborhood feel. Actually, DUMBO isn't so cheap anymore. The developers made it affordable to artists only long enough to attract wealthy interest and to develop luxury lofts with river views. As you head East (closer to where you took this shot) it gets more industrial and rough.

My only complaint is that I feel your framing choice is excessive. The perimeter of shadow frames the image well on its own.

Just found your gallery. I like the atmosphere in all your shots. The B&W conversion is nicely done with a good range of tones. I like the choice of exposure rendering the contrast between the harsh burnt out sky, and the shadows (silhuettes) on the foreground. Good work.

All of your 5 pics are very nice, but this one seems to me the best. Maybe because it is the least "manerist" one - you did not play on that IMHO cheap trick with colored objects and BW surroundings.
I would clone out that wire (cable) crossing the background building in upper right-hand corner, it looks like dirt or scratch. And dont understand what is that brighter area (blurred tree? your handwork?) around the girls head, but it might by clearer in a larger version.
I highly value animation of sites by human figures even when a photo would work also without it. You do it nicely.

Very attractive work Sergei!
I really enjoy this beautiful image. Especially the dark framing around the lighter & softer vanishing background with the layers of different tones of gray.
The double silhouette on the left stands precisely well. I would only regret that man on the right, but how to avoid him without missing the couple?

I hope you won't mind when adding this image to my favourite B&W theme...
