Your HDR is subtle and stunning, details pop out all over the place. I am just looking waiting for a Tux suited man to pop into the picture.
The picture is not centered, there is more to the left than the right and it throws the picture off, but i have a feeling there may be more people in the right and that was why.
This could be in any magazine. Impressive well done
The casually dressed person in the lower right is ... 'interesting'. Not
sure if it ruins the picture, or if it gives it a special touch. In any
case, nice capture.
