    Wink One Night in Paris

    Please let me know what you think. Taken at 4am, Aperture f1/8 and shutter speed of 30 seconds. No enhancements or anything done to it. I have an enhanced version where the trees come out that I can post here later.

    Thanks for watching

    I like the enhanced version better. I would crop off everything in the lower left (distracts). Maybe you could include more of it so that it is a dominant part of the whole scene or make it a photo by itself. I'm not sure about the green lights. - TF

    I personally like the original photo better... It's natural, and the colors are already beautiful.. the enhanced photo looks enhanced and I am one for all natural! ;)

    Re: One Night in Paris

    Hi Matt,

    I like the original for it's contrastly look. I like the second also cause it doesn't have the blown out highlights by the bridge. so i'm kinda mixed on both. Also, what's f1/8? f 1.8 or f 8? If u shot this at f 1.8 next time try to go for a higher f stop, that way it won't be as soft. of course that will increase your shutter time. I made that mistake also and learned the hard way! Other than that i like it. not sure what white balance u shot at. Auto? For city night scapes, I go with the incandescent white balance setting. Nicely done over all.
