    Thank you Jen! I was leaning towards #2. But I do like #1! I hate having to decide :)

    Well I like #1 but the top of he wall is cut off, so I get a feeling that the image is incomplete, if that makes sense. But, I don't get that feeling with #2. :)

    Makes 100% sense :) I went back and checked my shots for #1 and I didn't get a shot high enough :(
    Thanks again for your help!

    yw ... I tend to like photos that are different, and I really liked #1... but that #2 just made me want to study it. :D

    I REALLY like #1 better than #2, but I think I also want to see the top of the wall. That is a pretty cool shot with lots of angles to look at. I also like that the little bit of red adds color to the shot.

    I really like Up! Clean with nice smooth lines, makes me feel small.

    #2 is my favorite. Lots of strong shapes and angles in the buildings and negative space. Nice work.

    I think you need to keep shooting. #1 is the shot that will eventually work. #2 doesn't do much for me. All said with a supportive, "You rock the house" tone, of course.

    I'm having trouble picking. I do like #1, but the cut-off top is distracting. I was wondering if you might correct that by cropping at the bottom to mirror the cut-off of the top with a similar exclusion of the bottom. Just typing out loud, though....

    Thank you for all the comments!! I am going to stick with #2 for now. I feel its a more complete image and I really like the lines. But I hope to get a chance this week to get back downtown and reshoot #1.
    If I can I will post it and see what everyone thinks.

    Thanks again!!
