I shot this photo of the Ponte Vecchio at sunset last summer in Florence. When i first looked at the photo the sky was blown out. I looked at it again and darked the sky in PS. The Sky colors made the photo more interesting to me. My daughter says it looks fake but i like it.

    Very nice shot thumb.gif but:

    1. a few very distracting dust spots in the lower half (happens when you shoot at f/22)

    2. quite noisy. Could benefit from some noise reduction.

    updated image. I think i found all of the dust spots and i used Noise Ninja. First time for that too. Thanks again for the feedback.

    I've been there twice and with all due respect I've never seen those colors there in real life, so I understand what your daughter means. To me the colors there are weathered and earthy, not glowing, though I suppose those warm colors could resonate that way when a sunset like that bounces off the buildings. But it's still a great pic and if you like it, then it's right.
