I know the reference, but have never seen this. Maybe you can post a long-shot for context after the challenge.

I happen to like it when photos look like paintings, especially when it suits the subject. Love the color; I'd play with the tone curves but just to see what it would look like rather than to recommend any specific change (I bet you've done that already!). If I was going to print this, I'd probably play with sharpening it a bit first, and then running it through a "Canvas" or "Oil Pastel" filter.

And now you've reminded me of a great place to have photographed near where I grew up ....

Like you lighting and what you did with the background.

Two Outs, Bottom of the Ninth

Comment:
I was expecting something from Yankee Stadium. Well-lit without glare; I might have laft it a little darker, or get the background darker so it would look more obviously like a night game, and isolate the figure.

Comment:
The gate by the museum is pretty cool too. I think monochrome was a good choice given the challenge; did you experiment with a duotone?

Comment:
That must be quite impressive in person. It's interesting that, as photographed, it's really impossible to tell if this is a 50-foot tall statue or a tabletop piece! I'm not sure if that ambiguity is useful in the context if this challenge.

Men At War!!

I think I'd have tried to keep the sword tip, at the expense of some of the pedestal if necessary.

Jimi Hendrix Memorial

I would have been SO tempted to make it a purple duotone to take advantage of the perfect clouds for this subject!

Nice detail on the mail (I had to....)
Kind of wish the background was either sharper or blurrier, or maybe darker. The clock face attracts too much attention. After the voting it should be relatively easy to create a mask to try it out.

I like the quality of the lighting, but wish it was at a different time of day so it lit the face. Or maybe this was intentional?
