The crop on this image would seem like it wants to be a tad tighter. less sky and more diner. The pedestrian crosswalk at the bottom is a bit distracting as well. Maybe clone would help? Wait is this an open challenge? Than never mind :)

I like the feel of this shot, but I think it might have done better with a little more detail to it.. a shot from closer in maybe.

Thank you! That's exactly the look I was going for :-) Wish I had found NeatImage BEFORE this contest entry, but ah well. A closer shot probably would be a good idea...my eye doesn't always catch up with my ideas ;-) I'll have to see if I can revisit and get a closer pic.

I wonder whether a tighter crop at the top and the bottom would give this a little more punch.
