Almost Show Time!
We arrived at the Imperial theater to see Billy Elliot early enough for me to grab a few shots outside before we went in. This shot began as a handheld three exposure composite merged into an HDR image. I think the shot has a lot of energy and a few other positive attributes. I hope you like it as much as I do! :-)

I like this shot but for a different reason than the first one. It is more of a outside looking in shot where the first one is an inside looking out shot. Does that make sense?
It just has a totally different feel than the other one. The other one was more intimate I guess. You could see it from the first person perspective. This one doesn't have that same feel to it, to me anyway.
I like the colors, textures and all the activity. It actually has more of an old time photograph look to me. For some reason I can't seem to put my finger on it.
Good job either way.

Very well done. Definitely one of the better done HDR shots I've recently. I like the blue shadow cast, the people, ever part of the image has an area of interest.
The only thing that looks out of place is the awning saying 'electronics' when most of the image is about the past.

Well done HDR--good subject for it and good execution of the final image.
I like the photo, but, the left side seems to lack the energy and dynamic nature of the center and right sides. Did you try a version where you cropped just a little left of where the theatre starts? It seems like that version would have a great flow of light and also make the subject really come forward within the photo.
Good job.
Nice shot! I could see the theatre using it as the core of big promotional campaign. Great variations of a gold, blue, and red color trio that work well together, and great textures.
Going back to what Jan and Larry P. have said...trying a square crop may greatly improve an already good photo. I would take out the left side altogether and see if that doesn't change the impact to the viewer.
I would take everything out from the far left edge of the marquee. This would leave in the yellow pole and follow the line of the building going all the way up.

Thanks everyone!
I'm glad you like the photo enough to comment! :-)
I took the advice of the majority and posted a new version with a different crop that I hope you like as well!
Cheers!
