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.

Lovely - and great colours in the reflections. How long was the exposure?

Great angle, raely draws me into the shot... Nice smooth water gave good reflections...

Was that taken from the footpath on the bridge?

Postby zafra52 on Wed Aug 23, 2006 7:30 pm

Great shot Leigh. You have lovely colours and great reflection of lights in the river. I also like the dynamics of the picture and particularly how the two lines of the riverbanks guide the eyes to the centre of the image.

great pic, of the WORLD'S BEST CITY!!!

I really like the color in the sky, as its just after sunset, 635pm! Nice way to capture sunset, and colors in the sky from the Princess Bridge, looking West as per your capture.

Love it!

Excellent shot Leigh. Nicely framed and exposed. With this as your first image post you've set the bar pretty high for your future posts :wink: :)

Hi Leigh,

I like this shot a lot.
Nice capture, nice colours, great contrast.
If ou are using PS CS2 have a look at:
Filter, Distort, Lens Correction, Transform and perhaps
you may be able to straighten the verticals.

Regards,
CD

You all seem like a very nice bunch of people which is great!

Thanks for the advice christiand i really got to sharpen up my photoshop skills. I think my main aim is to try get it as perfect as possible first time to save work later, when this is possible that is :)
