I'm a big B&W guy, I love contrasty pics, but sorry, that's too much even for my tastes. The whites are totally blown with no detail, the shadows are totally black with no detail. If that's your thing then you've certainly achieved it :) If you;re looking to improve as a b&w photographer, you could do worse than reading this https://luminous-landscape.com/zone-system/ (external link)

In a nutshell, the whites should be white, the blacks should be black, with every thing in between.....

Hype chimping - The act of looking at your screen after every shot, then wildly behaving like it's the best picture in the world, to try and impress other photographers around you.

This sums it up pretty well.

I too like high contrast black and white, but.....um.....gees...​...

I think you've gone just a bit round the bend on this one.

Agree. I would like to see just a little separation in the people on the street.

Afraid I agree with the other commenters. I love black blacks but when you go that route you really need some separation between the elements of an image otherwise it just becomes a large black mass with everything blended together.
