Here are some more from my D.C. after Dark images, this time at the Korean War.
Which is stronger? Your thoughts are welcomed.

Hey CLK...

I like both of these for different reasons. I like the lighting better in the first image...very ghostly and a little eerie...but in the second, I like the placement of the statues better and the fact that there's nothing in the background to distract from the figures. However, if you could combine the two, I think you'd have a pretty perfect image. :D
The only thing about the second picture is that it would be stronger if the first statue weren't so closely centered.
As I said though...I do like both photos.

Great shooting. I like the right hand crop of the 2nd shot, where the building isn't there. But I like the tones of the 1st one. Sorry for messing with your photo I'm a visual being and I can show you what I mean 100 times better than explaining it in words. Anyways here's the crop I'd think would work best for your 1st shot.
