Wow what a difference

 

[JimFox]

Your version is really great Ben! I will need to download this and give it a try too.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Nicely done Ben. You have set a high bar already.

 

[JimFox]

Okay, Ben has set the high bar, I guess I will set the low bar.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Good one Jim, I see you removed the background buildings.

 

[JimFox]

Good one Jim, I see you removed the background buildings.

Thanks Ben. Seeing how low they were had me wonder if one had gotten close enough and low enough wouldn't the buildings disappear anyway?

My first major removal was of the photographer though on the other side. That person there really visually bothered me. After I did that is when I thought maybe I should just remove the tips of the buildings.

 

[Ben Egbert]

I never noticed the photographer, you have a good eye for detail.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Noticed the photographer and it bothered me as well. Debated on cloning out the tip of the buildings above the sphere and liked the version with that cloned compared to the alternate. Here is my attempt.

Really cool Jameel. It's great to see how that turned out. I also got rid of the reflection of the photographer in the bottom of mine. That may or may not bother you now that I have mentioned it.

I didn’t even notice that and now that you do mention it ...
