I drive by here most every night after work. Shot this while 'I was waiting' at stop light, through the open passenger window. I only applied 2 clicks of 'sharpen' in Elements 3. What do you think?? Lay it on me!!!

    The chain
    is distracting. Without the chain it's pretty good. There's something about this shot that isn't quite there.....at the moment can't put my finger on it...might need the left entirely cropped out where the green sign is. The other 2 people on the right kind of add to it but not certain....sorry for wishy wash....I'll study it and repost.

    that chain is very distracting and so is the green sign...if you could reshoot and just get the people on the bench, I think that would be the ticket, especially if no one knew you were shooting the photo.

    Good attempt, but there are too many distracting elements in the picture that take away from those waiting.

    Ok. So I think best option would be totake another shot, maybe verticle. Just include out to right of green sign and similar on the right side. Just need to show a bit of areas outside of verticle posts. By standing up, across the street I should be high enough to cut out the chain. I should be out of obvious view from there also - anonymous - so as not to draw their attention.
    It might be a more interesting group who knows???!!!

    Thanks & Regards
