Davina, thank you so much for your time going through the images and my blog... I really appreciate it!
About your comment on my blog... you're right, no need for reflectors around this building, light was bouncing everywhere!

The leading lines work so well in the first image. It looks like the building has just dropped from the sky and given the place a jolt and sent out a ripple effect with them in the middle of it. Wonderful very strong image. I love it.
I love number 2! So sexy, a lot of energy and I love the post processing. The negative space is great and really gives the energy a place to go. I can't think of anything I don't like about. I wish I would have taken it!
Number three. The idea is awesome. I want to love it but just can't. There's something missing and I can't put my finger on what it is. I was thinking maybe if there were a hair light or some kind of rim lighting around them that would separate them from the skyline. Or maybe it the skyline were more lit up. I want it to be cool because having them so close in the foreground and that awesome skyline is just cool. I'm trying to come up with something that would make it be incredible because it feels like it could be really incredible.
I love the direction you've got going and I totally want to see what else you've done. So I'm off to see your blog!

Awesome stuff Rudy! Empty Dodger Stadium must have been a blast!
Jan, it really was... I'm planning on going by myself just to shoot a lot!

Fantastic use of the architecture in the first 2!!! #3 is a great idea but seems like it could have been executed a teeeny bit better. Nevertheless GREAT shots man!
Thanks!
On #3 I did something weird with the post-proc... I'll try a different look later.
