Roaming the city

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

I like the color and contrast of the sky in your PP version, however it lacks the detail in the foreground, in front of the white building. Perhaps through layers, and masking, you can PP the sky, but keep the original foreground? I prefer the detailed foreground, to the balck mass.

Great Work!

really? i personally thought the foreground was a bit too distracting, hence why i masked it out.

i'm going to try to perserve the light on the water in the foreground though, but i'm not sure if it should be there on the boats

my $0.02

i like the colours in the sky in the PP version better, but preffered the foreground in the original picture (just to be difficult). i hear what you're saying about it being potentially distracting but i think the extra foreground detail works better than the silhouetting in the pp version.
