Hi Gianfranco, While I LOVE almost all of your photos, this is not among my favorites. As you noted, it's too contrasty, so there's no separation between the black areas. This makes it difficult to define what's happening here. The legs in the background are also a bit of a distraction. The guy in the foreground almost appears to have been pasted in. His position seems somewhat incongruous in respect to the rest of the shot. All that being said, it is totally unique. And that is a big plus. Overall, it's interesting but not your best. Paul
