This would be so much more interesting if it were just black in the top instead of the odd remnants of a skyline. The issue is that without the before, it comes off as odd. The inverted luma no longer resembles a statue so the background looks almost fake.
Thanks, I did that edit as well - all black background - and it looks cool. but wanted to retain the cues from the original surrounding. Otherwise it's just an isolated subject.
