Now there is a rich contrast of black and white, -light and shade. What you see now is the 'lively' patterns of the foreground rail and the rich girder patterns of the bridge. You've made it exciting and 'arty'. This is what you see in photo salons. However you've lost Dmitry's original message, -an uncomfortable quiet dispair of isolation. Both are valid, but for different reasons. I think this is a good example of contrasting two types of photography, 'arty' salon photos vs. photo journalism. They have an impact on the viewer, but at two different levels.
