I saw a couple of Ansel Adams' photos of NYC and they inspired me to revisit the B&W days of my youth. It was a good experience and I learned a lot about shooting monochrome with my camera, raw files, and raw file editing.

I like the lamp posts, the balcony supports - and the moon. I cropped your pic to 4/3rds and in doing so thought the format improved the composition - but that is MHO. Anyways - herewith attached for your interest.
