    Re: SUNSET over river

    Hello and welcome,

    Strong geometry. The colors are OK too. Not sure that I like how the bridge is tilted, though. Sometimes that can add some energy, it here it mostly seems like a mistake and it somewhat hurts the harmony. You can easily correct in post processing. I would also sharpen up the image a little, for a scene like this would look best very very sharp (all the definition in the water, with the little waves, should really be visible). Maybe a little less sky at the top: just crop some out.

    I think it's a stronger image now, but still needs to be a little sharper. Always best to get that in the original image, btw - did you use a tripod? (I'm always preaching that on this site )
