Thoughts?

Hi Karl...

It is a gorgeous capture.. What a nice job you did on capturing that water reflection and sky.

Do you have a couple of different crops for us?

Nice capture and fits your title. Wonderful processing on that water...

I got really lucky with the lighting conditions and the clouds

sooo pretty!

My only question is whether it's 100% sharp - can't tell if it's simply because of the gorgeous smeary colours in the sunset that my eye is being tricked, or if there's a hint of what looks like motion blur....?

There is a hint of motion blur -- I was on a suspended platform attached to a pedestrian bridge and at times there was a bit of shake due to the catamarans going under the bridge. Couple that with long exposures and the results are slightly blurred (at least I think there is blur -- there are parts that are very sharp too if you look closely). I'll say it's artistic

Hey Karl,

Nice set of photos....

I think you should post these two for votes too, they are visually
stunning shots..

No Prob.. Karl.... Hopefully you will get a chance to help me out too once I get mine posted. I am hoping by this weekend..



Well.. seeing them all together....hmmm......


I have to say I love the Farris wheel. However, I really love the city shots. They pack a visual punch and give us so much eye candy and the compositions are nice too..

I love both, but I am going to cast my personal vote for the purple one. I love the light in this one and really dig that star light upper right and the lit up bridge is wonderful... The purple is sooo moody and goes well with the night title.. Perhaps when you get some time, throw a sharp mask on it and the other one too...That is really all I can see they need..

However, nit picking,, on both, you might clone out the little pink smudge above the star on the upper right of the purple version, and on the blue version I would clone, not crop, that light on the left side out on the blue version that is coming in on the water..


Nice work.. and beautiful shots..

Edit: You should probably bump the contrast just a tad in both of them too, just be careful not to bump it too hard, you don't want to lose that beautiful painted look on the sky..
