Like the reflections and composition....but it's way over sharpened.

and the last glass of champagne has been drunk
All that you are left with are the memories and the images-David Cooke.

It somewhat appears that way, but looking at the original full size doesn't show it. I will investigate further.

Like B&W photography and it seem to me you were trying to do a little bit of HDR.
It's fine for me.

It was late in the day just before the sun started to set. I also set my camera on a tripod and took several shots from the same place and then I was able to stack the images in Photoshop and just paint out the people who were walking around! There weren't too many of them, but it makes it a quick and easy job to remove a few.
