    It is a nice skyline of NYC pre-9/11. Not sure why it is pink. Wish it had a stronger forground.

    I agree with Mark. You could crop most of the foreground out and maybe have a nicer image.

    You should then at least title and date the image as it has historical significance, then.

    Still not sure why it is red/pink though (edit: on my color calibrated monitor it edges toward a brown or sepia)-- is that from the camera or post processing?

    I shall do just that,name and date the print.A good idea.As far as the color shift I have not a clue.As far as cropping I will crop it and show it again.
    Thanks to one and all for your comments.I am just learning computer programs and digital.what do I need tocolor correct this laptop????

    Hi P-Maybe...,

    Welcome to the forum. Gotta say, for me the crop wasn't needed. I prefer the original, but either full colour or monochrome. Did you grow up in NYC?

    15524779-Ti.gif There's some nice texture in the wood and in the railing on the right. The crop doesn't really get you closer. One nit on the original: some white is showing at the top edges where you rotated it. Crop or fill.

    Thank you,I blew it up to an 18 x 24 canvas and it looks great.The original crop.I doubt myself these days as it has been a very long time since I have actually thought of photo's.
    I spent many years in NYC as an assistant to photographers on a freelance basis and then migrated to the commercial film industry.
    Thanks again,I am just learning this digital evolution and need all the help I can get to get my confidence back.Plus learn the programs that are needed instead of a darkroom......
    I see the white you are talking about thanks I will be more carefull.It was a perspective change in photoshop.
