I like this photo, but .... ???? There is something missing in this shot and whatever I do to it seems to take away something more than add to it. Perhaps the shot just doen't have what it takes in the first place? I'd love some feedback on this.

Constructive feedback is your greatest compliment; caring enough to bother saying something ... thanks for visiting!

I don't know, I rather like it. I like how the people on the bridge are similar to the people on the billboard.

I'm not sure Helen. There's so much to look at here, maybe if the focus was on the people and foot bridge with the back blurred?? I really love the bridge with the lines and shadows. The buildings are interesting , would be a good image in themselves perhaps. just a thought!

I like the lines of it and the people. i agree with Cheryl, I would blur the background a little. I would also darken it a bit or up the contrast a bit.

Try cropping it tighter. Take everything from the VooDoo billboard up out, pull in the sides enough to drop the black column on the left, then re-level it to make it a tad darker with more contrast. (Hey, but that's just my opinion. :-)
