Sweet little image but a little too much leaf which takes away from the main subject.

Originally posted by Citadel: This could use a quick touchup of levels and/or curves. Nothing's really black and nothing is white. I would include more of the building on the righr as well. Otherwise I like the composition and the colors are quite nice.

Thanks for the "Curves" recomendation. I never realy knew what "Curves" where, but after looking up a few "Curves" tutorials online...I can't beleive I'd not used them before. The ability to adjust low, med, and high tones independantly is amaizing. I re-edited this scene with curves...it was sooo much better! This is something I will certanly use in the future (already have on this weeks entry).

I agree I the composition would have been better if the building on the right was not cut-off...unfortunatly that is how it was captured. Maybe I should have cropped at the edge of the first building on the right...but I would have lost the panoramic effect. But it would have corrected the smallness pointed out by Smardaz...it looked great at 100%, but I agree the details are small at 640 wide.

Thanks everybody for your comments. They where very helpful this time. :-)
