Very nice.
Perhaps a bit of homage to BobDavid?

Nope, this is an RSL--consistent with his black and white sensibilities, especially the stuff from the 60s. Although this one is framed tighter than usual (in addition to the falloff).

Great geometry and wonderful tonality.

Nice one, Russ. Possibly a tad heavy-handed with the vignette?

You're right, Jeremy. My local copy now has less.

So, you cropped the vignette, Russ?   ;D

Well, I haven't the foggiest idea what that means, but as usual, I didn't crop anything. I did get too carried away with the vignetting. Here's a less carried away version that I'll call the final one.

I still like it. Even more than before.
And the cropping is perfect (i.e., I assume, in the camera.)   ;)

Often, falloff shows differently on a screen than it does on a print. I'm not sure the falloff needs to be strong in the sky as the vent takes our eyes right to it. Stronger falloff along the bottom edges of the photo seems like it'd add punch to the top half.

I think the vent could be brightened or the contrast upped just a tad.
