If it were mine I would, Rotate right 2 degrees to square it up, crop it to loose the right side getting rid of the word "he" since as an incomplete thought it distracts, and at the same time getting rid of the lamp above that. I kept the same ratio when I did the crop so i used the latitude to move the lettering to the center and putting the figure on the line of thirds. I also put the bright backround on the third lines, sort of formal but this work has a lot in it so it can be structurally simple. I think I also cut off the back end of the levels curve to darken up the blacks while lowering the middle ground. That emphisies the three lines in the cement and in the overhead structure which make a stronger push to the vanishing point, while losing overall detail in the fore ground. This pushes the eye out into the site and the buildings behind it.
If I am gassing on i apologise, but this is a very good shot and if I lived near by I would be shooting here from time to time to see what else you can get.

What I would do with it. If I had the large original I would crop even tighter. I think this kind of shot works really well in black and white. |

I can't go anywhere near there without some kind of emotional fallout. I took the PATH home from a party in Jersey City with a bunch of friends and we all got out there. It's really strange being there all alone, coming from a party in good spirits, and having it hit you all over again.

I like this image, its sad, very emotive. I browsed through what you had online and my favourite has to be red dancers. Its a lovely image, and the placement of the girls and colour give it a great look. The yellow flower in the black bug is also a good example of colour contrast. :)

Moment has been captured really good. In my opinion a good image tells some sort of a tale and this surely does. What comes to the colors, I think there are a bit too much happening here, the whole image seems to be emotionally a little bit too confusing. There seems to be an imbalance between colors and contrast, contrast being the dominant property.
If you would saturate the colors more, there would propably be a kind of sarcastic impression and I am not sure it is justified in this case. I don't favor BW images since everything looks better in BW, perhaps because my imagination and emotions tend to 'color' the picture and that is a subjective thing ;D. But in this case I would make a BW image, crop it a bit, make a large paper copy of it and let it hang on my wall for a while and see how the impression evolves. It might work, it might not.

Likewise I'd rotate the image to get the main lines horizontal. Besides that the only thing I'd change is the position of the person - if they were between the fence posts as opposed to standing in front of one their sillhouete (spelling?!) would be much more striking. I like the way she seems to be stood looking as opposed to being mid-stride - makes me think that shes apprehensive to leave the shelter (relative) she is in before entering the big-bad world. Just a thought!!
