Excellent picture. Lots to look at and I think the B&W adds to the atmosphere.

Saw the title and expected a portrait, Ronnie!
Has to be b&w I feel. Colour wouldn't bring out the same amount of detail, I think.

You've captured the atmosphere of this back street Ronnie with the mono bringing out all the detail.

Makes a great mono with a touch of realism.
Mostly we photographers see beauty everywhere
but street images bring a touch of journalism.

Mono is entirely suitable medium to present us with this less than salubrious view of Glasgow. Very good photo journalism Ronnie and what a contrast to yesterday's image.

You have captured the rear of what I believe will be coffee shops,pubs and restaurants very well. B&W has helped to isolate and identify the individual items within the image extremely well!

Grotty Glasgae! Could be a back street anywhere in the world really. The B&W shows up the chaotic jumble of add-ons really well.

A messy, mish-mash, melange of miscellany, Ronnie... but, as pointed out, it is litter-free. Attention to composition and the mono conversion has produced a fine image.

This is universal somehow, the story of our Victorian city centres. Smart modern shop fronts, grotty back alleys. Dustbins, window bars, drainpipes, anti-vandal defences. A couple of kitchen staff on a fag-break.
I'm surprised that there aren't two sets of double yellow lines - in one of Newcastle's back lanes they almost touch in the middle!

The monochrome processing for me adds a sense of caution and danger to the image which for me adds mystery and intrigue.

I like these images from the often unseen parts. The composition leads to the figures which although small add greatly to the scene.

Always good to get away from the main centre and explore the side streets with the camera Ronnie and more so when you have a good eye for "snapping" an interesting subject.

I quite like Glasgow but I don't think the back street at night would be a fav haunt. Great shot though.

Every city has its back streets Ronnie, the clarity in this is excellent and perfect for mono, I seem to remember many years ago in Glasgow very tall flats by the side of smoke stacks! On some days you could not see the top flats as they were in the smoke, that is going back some years, not sure if it is still the same now if they have not been pulled down?

Every city has back streets like this one Ronnie, places to keep clear of at nighttime. This is excellent in black and white.

Well seen photo opportunity and shown in mono is works, I have seen a few back streets fairly similar surprising in some ways with today's modern approach to life but shows how the other side lives

Have to agree with Herman, there's a certain neatness to the grottiness Ronnie, but what were YOU doing skulking around in back alleys! Wink
Take it this is behind Gordon St., used to buy my suits at Hector Powe, and bought my wife's engagement ring at a jewellers there!

A good image showing us Glaswegian grime and grot, I'm sure Mikbee would be in his element exploring these seedy side streets. You are a brave man hanging around in these less than salubrious haunts, I never thought you'd frequent such places! Wink
