Admittedly this photo was taken in colour but it’s conversion to black and white made it all about the shapes and lines, which is what I liked about the shot. It was taken in
Valparaiso, Chile at an overlook. Below is a sketch I did many years ago, also based on shape and line in black and white.

The shadows were strong and made a striking variance and pattern I thought – thanks, Madhu
