THE WHITE HAS A NICE "CREAM" TONE. THE PERSPECTIVE DISTORTION IS A PLUS.

ciao, john. I think is a good composition, and an interesting example of the "city pub". As i said, is very well composed. the only problem, for me, is that i need your written explication to know what it is. But you choosed the category fine art, so you know that. I dont know if is for my screen, but the BW seems a little bit flat. blacks and whites are a few,

It is not your screen.

 

This was taken at night under an awful orange light, then desaturated from 'raw' but still 'flat'. It is shooting at 'night' that did it.

 

It is the rear door to a tram in Baltimore, Maryland with an advertisement or just graphics on the rear door. of the tram. The repeating black and white patterns at the top that are semi-circular at the bottom of the pattern are the windows of the tram door. The tram door is closed, but at a stop.

 

I wanted to go back and take this in daylight but my health didn't permit. Still, as with you, I found it interesting and composed it well-- which is my test.

 

I'm glad you like it. Whether is it 'fine art' or 'found art' is anybody's guess, though.

 

I am pleased you have come back and commented. Your observations are 'right on'.

 

This is just another of my many facets.

After reading Andrea's comment on contrast I too agree. That makes three of us.
