    A little too much blue in the first one, and as much as I love contrast, I think a little too much in both. Composition in #2 is excellent.

    Yes I would totally agree unless it is my monitor but I love the composition and they really are fabulous shots. I would love to see them again with less just a touch less contrast.

    the horizen in the 1st shot looked bit tilted..so I measured the water line at each end and it is dead on. Then I realized that it is persperctive distortion on the tall skyscraper on the left. It appears to be tilting right. it bugs me but I am not sure how to fix that.

    Funny, blue is as blue was with the sky, didn't screw with it at all.. just processed through C1...

    For the skewed building, I did actually crop it when I printed. Printed one at 60"x10" and the other 40"x10" Good looking prints (Z3100 on LexJet satin)
