    Carbon and Carbide -with or without the lamp

    I would like your opinion if this image looks better with or without the lamp. To me, the map seems a little out of place, but it actually brings balance to the huge building structure on the right ...what do you think? Also note cloning was done very roughly, just as an idea not the finished product.

    I like the second edit, not crazy about the purple sky. The processing on the building is perfect.

    I am not crazy about the purple sky either ...at this point, I am more concerned about the composition ...I will work more on the look. Thanks!

    I am sort of neutral about the purple .. it doesn't help and it doesn't hinder imo.

    I think the lamp though is a little off-putting ... if you flipped it and put it on the right too it would work pretty well, but on its own on the left I think it is more a distraction than an addition.

    Cheers

    I see why it's a hard choice, the lamp ads something that's missing from the 2nd edit. But I'll vote for #2 also.
