I tried to give this photograph a film noir feel. Can you please provide

constructive feedback on whether I was successful?

The processing is pretty good, just a bit on the muddy side but the subject, especially the gentleman with the cigar is exceptional. He's an iconic figure right out of the Edward Hopper school of characters, mostly on account of his feeling of just being there and his tense posture, as rigid as a cigar store Indian.

Hi. Yes agree with Jack, the subjects are great and you've added a film "feel" to this with the processing. For my tastes it's just a little over processed, makes me feel I want to wipe the dust off it. That said this is very good and I can see why you've given it the film treatment. The composition, light and B&W finish all work so well. Best regards Ken.

l like it a lot

It's quite dark and foreboding. The figure on the left seems to have no particular reason to be out there. I don't see him as sinister, just a bit vacuous. Going outside for a smoke is different in New York, I guess--then again, what is the reason people go outside to smoke anywhere?

I do like it very much. I think that the processing is effective.
