In my experience the title is read out when the image is shown.

Looking good to me, but I'd lose the white squares on the right.
Also be wary of being too clever with a title, if the judge doesn't know who Hopper is (and I didn't) then the reference will just confuse.

Agreed, I was only commenting on the light and shadows. |

I knew you would come up with something, definitely better with the chains and without the tree.

Hi Ed, welcome to DD78.
This feels too dark for the height of the sun, so I used camera raw to warm up the image, and lighten it too.
For me the moment was just before the sun rose enough to be burnt out, so I moved it down a bit but kept the lovely rays from the starburst effect.

Hi Robert
For me, Jim has made most of the relevant points, and has excluded the moving heads which don't look particularly great.
James has also mentioned getting down low, if not below the heads to make them more interesting.
I would also play with Dehaze and Vibrance to lift the overall feel of this image.

Hi James
Well done for taking positive steps to improve, it not only should change your images but also give you a focus when you go out shooting.
As an architectural shot it works well with lots of shapes, but for light and shadows I would push the contrast to really see the difference (sorry Jim).
On a processing note, sharpening should be the final step in the sequence.

Hi Sunil, it's pretty much all been said. The last iteration looks good for the figure but I preferred the previous version's lighter background.

Hi Jim
Well tidied up, but for me the seat needs both chains or it wouldn't hang there to be sat on, and I'm with James that the original size of the woman looks better as it is part of the main subject. I also like the gesture with her right hand, it adds to the story that she's gesticulating to make her point, do you have a version that would make this more prominent.
The couple do seem to be looking straight at a tree trunk, real but not inspiring. With your skills and some time this could be tweaked, a quick example attached.

Well tidied up Brenda, now you have a symmetrical pattern picture. I'm happy with the colours (even though a bit saturated) except for the sky as per James' comment, so desaturated it a little.
The tower does have a tilt to the right, but its the leaning away that everyone is mentioning so I tried a quick transform to improve it. The curve on the top will take serious work to look right, so how much time do you have?
Also for me the grass is very muddy and for the pattern to come alive it needs to be consistent, maybe you can revisit when it's grown back.
