Just had a look through your B&W images over the last few weeks - you've got some really nice stuff going on Mike.
This image is quite good and different from the last few shots with that curvy wall weaving my eyes through the frame. It may be that I woke up late and am just getting to my coffee but it seems to give the photo a real sense of movement as my eyes move back and forth along the curve.
I can't quite tell if the people in the frame are adding to the image or somehow taking something away. They do provide a bit of interest to the scene and add a sense of scale, but also seem to detract from the sort of timelessness and mystery of this place.
nice work either way !

@Jason Kravitz: Thanks Jason. I started thinking about curves more after my last but one photo of the terraced houses in Porthleven. I'll no doubt be back down there very shortly so I'm going to experiment a little more.

A classic black and white, you've really shown mastery of the medium in this sequence of shots.

Nice dramatic and yet it looks like 2 people who chill there regularly.
