Hi Moose,
I appreciate your take on it but it looks dirty to me!
I wonder if part of that is a difference in screen brightness. Most
of the images you post are a little light overall for me. But if you
know the concrete as new, bright, clean, then my treatment is too
dark and contrasty.
I see opinions are evenly split, but you know the subject and made
the image, so ...
I was paying attention to "The dead grass and the concrete are
pretty much the same tone in BW, so it looks much flatter than I
would like it to." and did, I think, differentiate those
elements. :-) I was also interested, as Chuck noted, in getting
the children to stand out from the background.
All that may be done in a higher key way. I've also added a little
post downsampling sharpening to parts of it. I think it adds to the
separation of elements, but may still bring out more of the wall
contrast/dirt than you find ideal? <http://www.moosemystic.net/,Gallery/Others/Wesson/Cash_Cube.htm

C.H.'s is a fine version. A bit high key for me/my screen. More
importantly, it does little to differentiate the textural details of
the grass and concrete, which I saw as part of the "assignment".
