Critique Club
Wow 4 out of my last five entries have been in the top ten so you may have to bear with me...
First of all congratulations on your top ten finish, I didn't get to vote on this challenge since I only became a member a few days after this challenge ended, but I would have voted it very highly. I think it has everything working for it. The large depth of field makes it easy for the eyes to wander around the photo and the lake's edge makes a niceline of sight for the eye to follow towards the sky. You picked agreat time of day/night to shoot so that you had a mix of city light red and natural night blue. I am not sure what you could really have to done improve on this image, perhaps have shot at a lower angle so that you would feel closer to the ground and you would have also been able to angle the camera upwards more and gotten more of the sky and possibly a few more stars into the scene. The sky appears to have a little noise and dithering while it is fading through magenta to blue and you could have used some noise reduction software or a light gaussian blur across the sky only, to smooth it out.
Other then those suggestions I think it is a great pic and a well executed long exposure. Congratulations. If you have any comments or questions feel free to send me a PM. |

| Like the colors in this image. The sweep of the shoreline helps lead the eye into the image, unfortunately, it also sends it out the other side too.... |

| amazing view which makes it hard to critique the photo, it is very good but it works better for me without the lake edge on the right, difficult to get the right angle without a boat or going for a paddle |
