Interesting - great opportunity!

You could clone out the power leads for a cleaner look (the image seems to demand it). It might also be good to desat the lanps - I like the extra light, but the yellow detracts a little from the minmalism of the rest of the room.

I agree that the natural light is attractive. There are some blown highlights on the bed (not that this matters very much) - but you could try and recover those.

i like this shot a lot on my 2nd viewing. there is a clear divide here in the lamp-post and this also is in just the right place being push right of center. The street signs also giveing a Keep out vibe adds to the shot.

Bumping up one point

like the composition. like the processing. from your title, i gather you had trouble as well moving this from more than just an interesting group of objects to an image with that "aha" factor. still good.

Comment by UNTITLED:
Very good technicals on this photo. But I don't think it would work as well without the guys. The younger one on a payphone and the older on a cell. You would very much expect the roles to be reversed, typically the younger generation loving cells and the older not really embracing them. This probably sounds really stupid...but something about the 'Do not enter' sign really adds to this. Very nice!

the street sign almost looks like it is telling the payphone person that using it is the wrong way of making a call now-a-days. I like the fact that it appears to be an older person on the new age phone and a younger person on the older phone. You tones are nice and while you are a bit back from the subjects you still draw the views eyes right into the image and they know what the subject(s) is. good job.
