#1 and 3 are good but they show his height... Personally I think they would be stronger photos if you did some cropping.
#2 is awesome I love it, only I'd clone out the cars driving on the road, they're distracting to me. So seriously, we need to shoot together sometime I want to see some of these locations you're keeping secret!!!!!!

Ahh he is short, nothing I can do about it and it really doesnt bother me all that much. :) But I think the extra high railing on the bridge makes him look even shorter than he is. ohh well...
As far as the cars on the road I like them, they make the place come alive. I dont see any reason to constantly edit things that are there in real life. The location was a bridge (Ben Franklin) in the middle of the day. Why would there NOT be cars there? I understand your point, but I guess I just have a different style than most. I am not all about blurred backgrounds and cloning stuff out, if that was the case I would just shoot against paper all the time.
This is a local guy names Rommel, we became friends after I did a shoot for his portfolio some time ago. Now everytime I get a goofy idea like this he helps me out! :)

The easiest way is to walk from 5th and market or somewhere around there wherever you can find parking. Walk straight up fifth street (north) and you will walk right onto the bridge. :)

I think the cars driving by on the bridge is not only fine, but it makes him look like he must be some kind of superhero..lol. He looks like he's a lot higher than a normal person could get. Like he flew up there! LOL
Very nice series.

I would love to see a night shot of #2, would compliment the whole larger then life/superhero idea.

Hey I decided to go back and look at some old posts that I may have missed. I missed this one, and I was there that day! Even though I seen the images when you finished them, I still enjoyed looking. And I must say you had a great assistant, the reflector work is incredible! ;)

Quite an interesting location to shoot on the Ben Franklin Bridge. It's quite different. I must commend the both of you on your bravery.
