96 Feb 25 Comment Hello Pinake,
Thanks for your image. I think that the advantage of the two people in the scene is that it provides a sense of scale. The challenge for me in a scene like this is to decide where to frame the image in a way that simplifies the edges of the photo. I think the bottom edge of your image is the best. The shadows give your image a good sense of depth.

96 Feb 25 Comment Hello Bruce,
I am a sucker for great cityscapes and you have recorded a great one.
I agree with the notion of removing the yellow windsock near the lower left corner of your image. I probably would like to remover the white portions of the sail boat masked in part by the tree leaves. I could be wrong, but if you were able to move your camera a couple of feet to the left, you might have been able to see more of what looks like a white lighthouse structure. Otherwise I find your image to be "spot on, mate".

96 Feb 25 Comment Hello Kenneth,
Lovely scene.
I also could see enhancing the contrast in the sky a bit.
Otherwise, I quite like your image . . . well done.

96 Feb 25 Comment Hello Viren,
What an amazing overview! My thought is that this is the kind of image that could benefit from some upsizing so that the viewer could start to better distiguish the amazing variety of built form. Your image could be on a large wall in a gallery setting.
I tried to increase the resolution of your image to 6X in Topaz Photo AI Software.
I then chose a tiny portion of your image to display to you so you could get an idea of the level of detail and also to stay within the 1mb maximum image size allowed.
Cheers, Rick

96 Feb 25 Comment Hi Robert,
I most enjoy the upper 60% of your image. I think it is, in large part because of the semi-symmetrical placement of the groups of branches. Symmetry is something that most everyone enjoy in different ways. I also love the transitional forms and colours that emerge from the mountains through the sunrise light and general sky colours. . . especially in the right half of your image. Since you don't seem to mind making structural modification to images, how about taking the right half of your image and mirroring it to the left side, creating a truly symmetrical scene.

96 Feb 25 Reply Hi Robert,

As always, your comments are insightful.
As I understand from a Chevron Executive, the floating gas station is the only one in existence. That likely swayed my level of saturation.
I have never noticed an increase in diffraction at f/11. That does not mean is not an issue, but maybe it is my current level of eyesight. :)
I have never tried playing with the focus stacking technique.
I don't normally print images. I employ them in my teaching via a "slide" projection or over the past couple of years, via the Zoom platform. Having said all of the above, I don't disagree with your comments. Much appreciated!
