I'm strongly considering getting this capture printed. Before I do I just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on some last minute tweaks. This is the cropped down version with some slight contrast adjustments. The other version was a bit taller and wider (opening more to the left side of the shot).

Do you mind posting another option or two; I was wondering if there's a way to get (3) trees and (3) benches. But nothing obvious jumps out at me. I'll come back to it. Have you thought of a title yet? I lean towards something ironic or mildly bitter.
"Musical Chairs" -- my favorite
"The Kings of Old" -- fair, but a little too much LOTR perhaps
"Stop and Smell the Roses"
"Not with a bang..." -- my second favorite, but might be a title to save for something even darker than this image.

Personally, I would have preferred to see more on the right side of the frame to lend balance. As it is, the second set of benches is cut off, as well as having a partial shadow. Since we can't see what's on the right side, what would the view have been like if you had moved a bit more left and swung the camera more to the right?

Unfortunately there's no more image to the right and I can't reshoot (it was shot in a different country). Here's another angle that hasn't really been retouched, let me know what you think.

Last post is quite nice MIke.....clone or crop out the 2 manhole covers area and it would be a keeper IMO.

The last one is better. I 'd lose the manhole covers as well.

Ok, here's another edited version. No I have to figure out where to crop. Any suggestions?
