It does one good to see traditional B&W every now and again, to give some benchmark tonalities against which to compare our digital efforts.
How was the image digitized? Is this a scan from the film, or from a print? If a print, was it conventional enlargement or "Frontier" (or similar) printing? IMO the picture is too elongated, which kills its compositional dynamics. I realize it's an uncropped frame, with all the altruistic baggage that attaches, but to my eye the space from a little way below the intersection of the awning with the left border is superfluous. Crop it there, and a tiny bit at the top to compensate, and the composition will jump right off the screen. Nevertheless, I love it.
