Great shot, clear & crisp & clean & I'm a big fan of B&W photography. For me though, there's a bit too much going on in your picture, I don't know where to look, the people, the buildings or that wonderful statue. All in all though, a nice shot.

Firstly this is not any nicest part of the extremely beautiful town. Secondly as Lauren said there is so many objects in it that one does not know what the main subject of the image is. Altogether it might be better if you for instance concentrated on the statue itself which is the best part of the picture. Please do it for Lauren and me !!! At least I would be gratuful to be able to view it in full size more or less and in colour, please !!!!
Unlike Lauren and majority of real artists [myself being just amateur and a beginner too] here on Caedes I cannot get used again to BW nowadays ..

Personally I think you have too much foreground .. If we assume the subject itself is worthy and not to be changed out for another .. then the only way to fix this viewpoint would be to snug up the field of view ...

black & white photography excels at light+shadow, texture, drama, emotion, passion (scenes that don't need color to succeed) ... I'm not sure if people will feel passionate about a scene such as this .. it is a slice of life, yes, but a man sitting on a park bench feeding the pidgeons is as well ... and people get emotional about pidgeon feeders .. it's a well documented fact

;o)

I have to agree with the others. High marks technically -- sharp, good tonality, etc -- but I'm wondering what the photo is trying to convey to the viewer.
