interesting shot! I too like the lines and the lines created by the shadows more importantly. maybe a bit too much vignetting for me but a nice B&W none the less.
I think I'd also crop a small bit off the bottom.

I like the composition, the tones and the lines too. The only thing my eye keeps wanting to 'fix' is the tilt of the horizon line in the very back. Nice shot.

This is a nice shot. I see why you chose to leave the horizon line tilted in the background. If you had straightened it, the bench and the nearer shoreline would have been tilted. I really like the contrast between light and shadow here. Would it be possible to see the original, or did you shoot the original in B&W?
