I agree with Glen, but I would consider cropping just above the flag mast.

Thanks for the comments guys! Really appreciated!....

Phillip, I was thinking that, but without the bottom section (to me) the image feels like its "out of balance" with the clouds in the top right thats all... Ill take another look.

An unusual view of the city. It's a postcard.

There is simply too much blue sky and water.
Try cropping top and bottom.

What about at twilight?
It will be a compromise between getting enough CBD light twinkle, before a lot of detail fades with the setting sun.
The lights of the CBD would certainly add some extra pizzaz.



In other words, take a different format photo at a different time of day :D A different photo, if you will.

Anyhoo, nice shot shoot. I spent some time looking for the flagpole until I realised this one is post cloning out.

Thanks for the comments guys!!!

Yeah, I cloned out the flagpole on Phillips suggestion, and since its hosted from my SmugMug Gallery, rather than having the two copies there deleted the old one, and put up the new one without thinking about it affecting the post here. :D Sorry about that...

I don't like the 3:2 aspect ratio... it doesn't suit this scene at all.

I will go try and crop the top and bottom and see what it looks like, thanks again for all the comments guys :D
