I've left out some needed info, I do not know what the EXIF is, took this shot on a Nikon
L120, then edited in CS5, changing it to B&W and increasing the contrast. I am a complete amateur and wanting suggestions on how I did with the angles and feel of the picture.

As a slightly "gritty" urban image it works for me.

I think it would help if the top horizontal line was parallel to the top of the frame and if you toned down that bright area in the upper right.

I agree with Krusty on the top horizon and the bright spot.

Otherwise I am stuck between two thoughts. Either more crop or less. It kind of feels too much in the middle. I would like to see all of the diaginal support attaching to the vertical support and the entire vertical support. Or a tighter crop with only the two arches and the diaginal support.

Keep at it.
