Thanks Jez. While shooting this photo I was more observant of the two persons in the lower right corner, but I’m glad you mentioned this guy going up the stairs.

Love the composition and the tones in this shot. The black border enhances this image even more, it works perfectly.

This is very good, and B&W is perfect. The people looks as if somebody has drawn them on a notead.
