    Re: Frankfurt Bridge

    Liban,

    Nice colours, my only critique is that I would have moved a bit to get more separation between the bridge and bow of the pleasure boat.

    I am assuming that you have space to move of course.

    I do like the way the bridge frames the city, and the streetlight reflections.

    Re: Frankfurt Bridge

    Hmm. This image has some dramatic parts Liban. The good is the geometry of the bridge, the buildings in the background, the water, the reflections..

    But in my opinion, it's more of a 6/10 shot because it has a few too many not-quite-theres (for lack of better terminology). The sky is a bit too dark here (could have taken this when it was a little bit brighter), the bridge looks chopped off esp at the top, the reflections are too soft and somewhat uninteresting, the boat is too close to the bridge structure ..

    It's still a decent catch. Things just aren't perfect.

    Anyway - I haven't seen Frankfurt since '85.

    Re: Frankfurt Bridge

    Thanks Jetrim.

    GB, thanks for the detailed critique, I agree with you 100%. The problem with the sky is the clouds were too heavy to let any light through them. I thought people would complain on how over saturated it is. lol. but no one did so far. I went back to my vivid setting.. i just can't get over that.

    Thanks
    Liban
