Any suggestions?

Shot this downtown Chicago, I sort of liked it

Another version with minor poster filter



Don't know if either even work, my eyes are tired from all the sun I got today

Hmmmm, I'm not really sure about these. You might want to crop the bottom or clone out the light fixture, because IMO it doesn't add anything to the shot. I'd like to see more exposure on the statue to bring out some definition.

The second image could work but I would crop it down to the left hand side. Crop out the right building and then lighten the sculpture.

I too think that the second is the better of the two, but those strong shadows really hide the interesting parts. This would likely be a very interesting shot if it were taken at a different time of day.

Thanks guys, I forgot I posted this, I guess it isnt working well, my idea was to make it sort of appear that the figures in the statuary are actually "looking" at the flash of light (sun glimmer off building)...Oh well, no biggie, just wanted to see if anyone else "got" this....

I like the second version. It looks like Spiderman should be swing on a web through the gap. Have you notice have you have the old buildings on the right and the new on the left? It's quite a contrast.

You had some tough lighting to deal with. I'd photoshop it a little more and you'll have a winner, methinks.

I just noticed the sun in both photos. I my self would think of going back and reshoot with the sun in a different position.
