    Can't decide if I like this
    It's definately one of my more abstract ones! lol Do you think it tell a story? It was digital rebel, winter dusk sky, just took it on a whim because it seemed cool at the moment.

    That sky colour is great!
    But the roof and building at the bottom distracts me.

    I'd like to know why you cropped the lower right corner of the window.
    To me, it gives my eye a way out of the image, a sort of get out of jail free card :)

    Hmm, I couldn't knock down the building next to it but I can probably use a little adobe magic to get it out and add the corner in.. I didn't crop the lower right corner, I cropped the lower left corner, but again, I think I can add that in to it. It was one of those unplanned, unexpected shots that I guess I expected not to turn out. Argh.

    What it needs...
    Janie, it's a great idea and IMO close to a really cool shot...

    I think there needs to be a touch more detail in the figure. If you've seen the U2 iPod commercials (actually all of the iPod spots), they are really striking because they show a brightly colored bg and silhouetted figures moving with just a glimpse of detailed features on their faces.

    It is very similar to your shot, but the delicate detail on the figures is what makes the scene special.

    You could easily add the detail with a small snooted spot light on the face. Just keep the exposure dark so it doesn't over power the rest of the scene...
