What is that platform?

What critique are you after Eruditass?
What was the intent of the image - what emotions/feelings did you have that attracted you to this scene? It is hard to appreciate it on its own.
Nevertheless it is sharply rendered with bold B&W conversion and a soft complementary background.
There is also a dust spot in the top centre of the frame.

I don't know what it was used for. Seemed rather random:

It's been a year since I took these, and now it's clear that the "sea" is actually clouds, and I have no idea what that thing off on the right is.

Any sort of critique, comments, observations, etc. I'm always looking to improve: do I need to be specific?

I went driving in the mountains and was never really successful at landscapes or capturing the moment. I thought this was one of the more interesting ones to me, particularly with the graffiti.

Comments like this are helpful. Is there anything you could see that would improve the image: in taking the shot, or if it was in your catalog to process?

Thanks and good catch.

I missed the graffiti. I was awaiting a response to that which drew my immediate attention before commenting further. Ash "spotted the spot" but may have missed the graffiti. IMO, the graffiti would have made the better photo and in colour.

Unfortunately, the graffiti is in black and white, except for one word in pink. Also it's all doused quite heavily in the shadows.

Well B & W, however IMO, the graffiti is the subject of most interest and deserving of of a close-up.

The graffiti is too far away to carry this shot.

The most interesting perception about this photograph is one of scale: it looks like a miniature taken with a tilt shift lens.
