Thanks

I love the curves and textures. I had to download to even see the people :) What I'd love to see removed, which I'm sure would take a ton of work, is the company name.

Great lines! I might remove the head on the left which would be a snap to do. Do not think the people have much of an impact one way or the other.

I love the word Revel in the photo! 8-)

Hey damdannyboy, love the photo and think this is a great example of Do I or Do I Not when it comes to removing the people. While our instinct is typically to remove the people to make the photo seem more clean there are many who think leaving the people in gives a sense of scale and use.

I like it as is, but as stated above, if you are going to it should not be that hard to remove them. Personally I would give the go ahead and let others show you how it would look. Cheers!

If we paid two, could we get rid of the dumpster and the other things at the end? Correct me if I'm wrong, but would you want the viewers eye to keep going to infinity in a photo like this?

Would a bit more contrast help. I find the boardwalk to be a little flat.

Great job on the the removal of that Co. name winnterrose. Thank you.

I think it's a great PR shot, the kind Revel pays a photographer to make for their Annual Report. For that reason I would not remove the name. I think the name makes the picture. I think it looks dull without it. I would take the time to remove the people, the dumpster, anything that interrupts the flow of that wonderful undulating line, but I'd leave the name on it, and then I'd up the contrast because it does look a little flat—it needs more snap. Good shot! :thumbup: Worth some work!

How interesting. Now I think I agree with the 2 posters so far who prefer the name in the composition :) Thanks so much for your investment, though. It was a good learning experience from this end.

Whoa! Love this, Winterrose. I got that feeling that you get when a roller coaster drops off. Before it was a little boring for me. Now it is not.

What she said. Reminds me of the phrase "Islands in the Sky" and adds so much tension to the scene I'd be holding my own breath if I had to take the walk up to that building!
