I very much like this image except it seems like you didn't quite turn it into B&W. I'm seeing blue in the bottom left area and also on the jeans at the right edge. Is it just me?

I like this photo a lot; plenty of contrast, and a compelling composition. The grit and overall dirtiness you capture here really gives us a step into the city
