Millennium Park Benches

This is my third (and final) entry for my get-pushed challenge. @dtigani asked that I "attempt a Low Key Black and White photo." So far, my photos have been taken using a flash indoors and of small objects. I decided to try one on a larger scale outdoors. Thanks, Daniel, for a great challenge!
@dtigani Here's my third and final try. Given your extensive experience in b&w, I'd appreciate any feedback. This one was definitely outside my normal range of photography.

Outstanding! I love this line of benches, and this is the best shot of them I've seen so far. Great POV, and the darkness brings out the gleam of the metal. Fav!

Ok. Im going to be brutality honest. Fav! Love the line of chairs, reflected in the line on the concrete, as well as the line of the wall behind. The buildings in the far right gives the scene context. Excellent job.

I like the curved line leading my eye! Great lighting too!

Superb shot, Taffy! I love the curve of the line of chairs. The chairs themselves have an awesome sheen, almost metallic. FAV

@dtigani Oh gosh, thank you SO much!! I did like this shot, but was nervous about putting it 'out there.' Thank you for a GREAT challenge!

@anwan Thank you Annette! I appreciate it. It felt so different than my other night shots, but I was sort of partial to it.

@lindseying @jannkc @seanoneill Thank you Lindsey, Jann, and Sean (and for taking the time to view large, Sean). It was a good challenge for me and I've learned that I LIKE this kind of shot. It's such a different way of thinking when you know it's going to be b&w.
