I like the modified shot, it was the guy on the bench that actually attracted you, so I feel he needs to be the main subject.

well done you, the HDR suits it. This comment belongs to Onions & Carrots, it seems to have gone somewhere else.

I like this a lot, it's great to find an un usual light source and make good use of it.
