85 Apr 23 Reply Thanks, Alex. And welcome to the group! Apr 29th
85 Apr 23 Comment Thanks, Lisa. You are probably right about the distractions. Apr 23rd
85 Apr 23 Comment Janos, there is nothing I can offer that would improve on the image you took. I love the reflection of the buildings in the distance.

In fact, as an entirely different interpretation of the scene, I wonder what a severally cropped image focusing on the buildings and their reflection would look like? With today's post processing technology such treatment is certainly possible.

85 Apr 23 Comment Lou, I really like your image. If it were mine, I probably would not have cloned out the buildings in the foreground, and I would have been dinged by a photo reviewer for not doing it. :-)

I guess like has been mentioned, I would have toned down the blue in the sky a bit.

85 Apr 23 Comment Pete,

To me the big thing that made this a great shot was converting it to B&W after doing the merging. There is nothing I can add that would improve the image. It would be interesting to see what Original 2 would have looked it post-processed in a similar manner.

BTW I read and thoroughly enjoyed your article in the journal.

85 Apr 23 Comment Drema, the trouble with being last to comment, is that generally speaking it has all been said. I thank that is the case here. But here goes anyway.

I like the diagonal lines and your use of a vertical panorama. Since the sky is so plan and a minimum part of the scene, I would convert the image to B&W.

Personally, the tree at the bottom adds nothing to the scene. I would have probably cropped it out. On the other hand I hardly notice it is there.

85 Apr 23 Reply Thanks, Janos. Some might say I am a bit inconsistent in my approach, but... Apr 21st
85 Apr 23 Comment Pete, I am always torn between documenting the scene as it exists and cloning etc out manmade, permanent objects. Which is contradictory to my willingness to use Photoshop to do whatever I can to make the image more pleasing to me. :-) Apr 12th
85 Apr 23 Comment You're right, Lou. I thought of cropping or cloning that out, but I did not. Apr 11th
