Autumn in Minneapolis

At my workplace, we've formed a Photography club of sorts. Last Friday, a few of us went for a photo walk over lunch. We have the great fortune of working within walking distance of the Mississippi river as it goes through Minneapolis. We try and take advantage of this as often as we can. Here are a few of my favorites:

#2


#3


Comments, criticism? As you can no doubt tell, I did quite a bit of post-processing on image #3. I pulled out the GND tool in LR2 in an attempt to make the clouds look more ominous. Did I go too far?

The rest of the images from the walk can be found here.

Nice work Erik. I especially like the last one but think it could be cropped tighter. Take off the bottom to the bright section and I think you'll find the image really pops!

How's this:

Much improved! Now the scene really feels much closer to what I imagine you wanted to capture. Good work
