designboy,
Excellent tonal range. I like your comment about composing in the viewfinder instead of cropping later. I try to do the same. Fine image. Roberta

You might be right about the homeless (who sadly increases in Stockholm) might be the target group for the "bajamaja" (shitty-maria, free translation). And your definatly right about the alignment. When looking in the viewfinder my primary goal was to stand exactly in the middle of the bajamaja no two and three. Could have panned the lens a bit to the right. But I'm a purist about my own pics. Almost never crops afterwards, only in viewfinder. That helps me develop my "photographic eye" - the same reason for loving (prefereble wide) primes. Or using a zoom like two or three primes. "Now I'm using the 28mm. And now it's the 35." I try to move my feet instead of the zoom ring. /designboy

For the homeless maybe? They are not supposed to be seen right? As with your other shot, the exposure, tonal range and black and white conversion are impeccable! You have the toilets almost centered but not quite - maybe room for a slight improvement? --Olaf

If it's beneath a bridge, maybe it should be called "Where Pigeons Go" or something like that... :o)

I like it.

Absolutely fabulous. Great mono conversion. Nothing to add.

I love the urban grittiness of this one. - Jon S
