cool idea. I think maybe the lighting is not as dramatic as it could be. The symmetry is very nice. I think that choice of cropping/framing could have been better too. Overall nice composition though.

hey, im from atlanta! Nice picture, but it seems like its a little hazy or grainy. Could be all the smog from rush hour traffic!

this is a nice composition. It has a lot of texture to it! Very professionally done. Overall, however, the image seems to be lacking something to grab my attention. The lighting is perhaps a little flat, maybe if this was taken at sunset with more dramitic lighting coming in from an angle it would be a 10! -8 from me.

the emotion is so raw in this image. A very beautiful moment you have captured. Compositonally sound, technically ok but lacking in lighting, sharpness and detail -9
