I took this in March but was wondering if I could get some c&c on this?

Can't critique much, myself. I think this is a really nice shot; I like the combination of processing and the incredibly small number of people in there. It adds to the mood of the shot, quite a bit, to me.

great clouds. Is this shot from the side opposite that facing the mall?

Really like the processing and the feeling it invokes. The visible detail in the shadows makes it much more interesting than other shots I've seen under similar shooting conditions, especially in the clouds.

i really like it

only C&C i can throw in there is that the shot is a little crooked.. im talking just a few pixels here, but i noticed it so im sure photographers better than I would notice it also.

and see on the right side you can see two large openings in full few, but on the left side you only get 1 1/2 of the openings showing... so maybe a quick crop to fix that

only thing other than those two is the white line at the very bottom. it starts straight on the left side of the photo but by the time it gets to the right side it has curved down. but I think this is more a problem with the lens and would have to be fixed in photoshop.

...maybe add vignetting...? ...hmmm

but those are just really really small things and i dont want to take away from the overall quality of the shot... a few tweaks here and there and it would look at home in any senators office :)
