[Leica] Hotel Hall, a mew sign of crisis?

[mark at whitedogs.co.uk (Mark Pope)]

Luis,

I enjoyed looking at these images.  The B&W is stronger in my view. 
With regard to the man's head, I wonder whether it would be worth a 
little burning in using for example the brush tool in Lightroom?  It 
probably wouldn't take much work and may take an already fine shot to 
another level.

All the best,

Mark
