I dig it -- nice composition, nice color, nice lighting. I'm a little put off by the lack of texture in the ground, but that's really, really nitpicky... and I don't have any ideas on how to change it.

You're one of the few to address personal power as a theme -- great job! It's too contrasty for my taste, but I understand your choice because it definitely adds to the graphic nature of the image.

Strong?

I really like your composition. The technical details are nice too - -sharp, well exposed. My only suggestion, and really nit-picking, would be to have shot with a "tungsten/indoor/incandescent" white balance setting .

I had a similar idea and decided not to pursue it because I didn't think I could do it justice. You've done a nice job. I think the harshly-striped lighting detracts, forcing the shadows almost to black. A softer lighting arrangement would make a more pleasing image. Plus, a bounce card or fill flash would address the lack of details in the shadows. Well done.

It wasn't until VERY close inspection that I noticed the artificial leg. It really could be more the central focus of the image.

I like the composition -- too bad the weather wasn't cooperating...

The Power and the Tower

The shot seems very high key, yet the sky is quite grainy. It looks as if the picture was shot at dusk, and a fill flash was used. Perhaps using a longer shutter speed with a tripod would give better results.

Really excellent on all fronts -- capturing a symbol of monetary power in an understandable manner is a challenge of it's own.

really smart composition, technically nice, really effective color palate. I wouldn't change a thing. I hope you do well!
