This photo is taken around Walt Disney Hall in L.A.

Looking forward to your ideas on this one.

Very cool composition. Use of BW here is very good, and the shadows make for an interesting effect. I really think this is a flawless shot, except that for some reason I feel like it needs to be rotated slightly to the left.

I like it too.
Perhaps a bit brighter?
The tilted feeling comes from the flats at the top of the stairs.
Not sure if straighting that will make the guy look tilted, so go with what you have.

yeah, I know about the problem, but I really believe it is optical illusion. In fact, it seems to me, that the right edge of the image is turning inwards. Another words - the low edge seems to me shorter than upper one. Therefore I gave up "correcting" anything because I am afraid it is in fact impossible.
Anyway - the image is slightly cropped and turned already...

Thanks for comments!

Looks really good...

The only thing i would suggest is getting a little more detail out of that left hand corner. It looks like there is info there so why not bring it out a touch. That being said I do like the gradient that the dark to light forms, so yeah just a touch.
