Looks cool! The only thing I don't like is the guy in the bottom middle of the brick wall, he's kinda distracting, IMO.

This does not work for me at all. For an image taken around dusk, I would expect and want to see better sunset colors.

I would take it later in the day so you can keep the shutter slow, and not have the overexposed corner. I live in chicago, so I know this place well. Could hang there for hours and watch people play.

Where is your EXIF?

Thanks for all the great feedback on this photo....when I was taking this photo it was getting darker around dusk but as you can see this photo is not bw nor color so I wasnt looking for sunset colors. The kid on the wall I feel draws your eye in towards the wall with the water falling on him. I do agree that the upper corner is a liitle over exposed but I wanted to leave it in to show how large the wall is on the other half of the photo. Thanks again for all the great feedback.
