rainy days Umbrellas

Very nicely captured and composed. Certainly BW contributes a lot to make this image immediately appealing. With all due respect, and IMHO, for me the only drawback is the store's name. I can understand purism in the photographic process, but with the resources available in modern times, sometimes you can bend the rules a bit. Another approach would be to just crop the top part, and you would probably have an equally compelling result. A philosophic issue, where there is certainly no right answer. 

Nothing however, takes anything away from this very fine photograph (I usually make a strong distinction when I say "image" vs. "photograph" - I think the latter is more complete and appropriate to elevate the category of the end result of a capture through a camera).

The rhythm of the umbrellas and the windows without the distraction of color creates a 'dynamism' that I find very appealing.

7+ would be my verdict, Mircea!

Very fine Street catch,well composed and grey converted,may their jackets a tad overdone.

Regards.

Eye-catching contrast and fun to view.  Good job catching them all in a row to get the aforementioned rhythm.
