Two questions

1. Did you save this as Adobe RGB and
2. Did you do any unsharpen masking at all.

Reason I ask is when taking the image into photoshop (my workspace is Adobe RGB) it didn't give me a mismatch.

Also when doing a bit of unsharpen masking, the image is much sharper than displayed here. Try
Amount 100%
Radius 0.5
Threshold 1
and see the difference that it makes just as a little guess work.

The big tower seems to bend a little from the middle to the top towards the right.

I really like your photo Yoyo! Everything is so clear and you can see such detail! A beautiful day too! I can't think of anything you might change off-hand. There doesn't seem to be any distractions to me or too much sky or anything like that. I like it as is.

Dumb question, would a 15mm lense make a bldg bend? (A little new to this and wasn't aware there is a 15mm lens. Thanks.

Hi Peter, Thanks a lot for your time on the detail of the photo. The shot is in Adobe RGB format. I only slightly sharpened the shot with Focal Blade. Yes, the tower is slightly tilted. Thanks for pointing that out.

Hi Betty, Thanks for your kind words. Yes, the lens has barrel distortion. I corrected it with ImageAlign. More information is given by Michael Reichmann at http://www.luminous-landscape.com/re...agealign.shtml. The discussion is really good.

All the best.

The tallest tower in the pic is 2 International Financial Center. If you are interested in this building, more information can be found at http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=100614 and at http://skyscrapercity.com/showthread...threadid=37118.
All the best.

Just one thing, the composition seems a little "heavy" on the right side. I do like unbalanced compositions, but if the cloud right over the top of the financial center was at the left 1/3 of the frame it might even out more. Just a minute earlier (or later?).

Thanks! I will browse thru that link!

Hi Anotherview,
Thanks for your suggestion in the clouds. It is helpful.

Yoyo, yes, I agree with some of the points of the technicals like the building having a slight bend and the clouds a little heavy on the right side. Also could use a bit more sharpening as Peter stated.
But, even with these minor flaws, I find this image to be very good. Great point of view and framing, lighting and a great bluesky, puffy white clouds day.
Making great use of that lens. Question, on the 10D would that lens actually be something like 24mm or is the camear a full frame sensor.

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the kind words. The cropping factor of the 10D is 1.6, thus the lens would be like a 24 mm.
All the best.
