    The post-processing sure looks cool to me. thumb.gif On a personal taste, I like the original better, specially if you darken the skies to make a strong contrast from the nicely lit skyline. :D You got a good position shooting this shot, David. Very nice! thumb.gifthumbthumb.gif

    You have a beautiful skyline to look at.

    The artist approach in your second shot appeals to me. Only I think I would crop in more. That way the buildings in motion/blurred will be minimal and the sharp ones will be more the vocal point. Hope you don't mind me saying that :D

    Thanks Jiro for your comments.

    Our skyline has been "taken to death" if you know what I mean. I just want to avoid a "postcard" shot.

    Cheers

    Always appreciate the views from another angle which I will give a thought about it. Thank you.

    Got you on that, Sir. I certainly understand why. Thanks for explaining. thumb.gif
