I think the monochromatic treatment works well here and it's nice that you didn't go for the regular black & white look.

The lone character on the narrow street walking towards (what seems like a dead end?) makes for a haunting atmosphere. Also the slightly twisted building walls & bridge enhances the feeling that something is not right.

My only nitpick is that there could be more darker areas on the ground to make the picture even more grim and menacing. And maybe the guy could have an axe in his hand <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)"/>

Overall I think it's a great picture which captures the feeling of being in a dark alley!
Cul-de-sac
Sure, go ahead! (if possible a link back to my deviantart page would be great :))
Tired Russian Blue
This took around 20-30 hours. Sometimes if lots of changes are needed it can be even 40 hours or more.

Thanks for the critique! I added some extra clouds & birds to the top right, do you think it helps to fill out that section better?
