Thanks for all of your comments. I had trouble with the resampling and adjustments. That's ok, I've learned a lot since then. I re-adjusted and I believe the photo came out much better. Also, I did adjust the color balance a bit to enhance the contrasts the red brick and the green tops of the buildings. The adjustments are in my gallery Gallery
If anyone does take the time to check them out, I wouldn't mind any comments.
Taken in NEW HAVEN, CT on top of a parking garage.
Very grainy, very washed-out. I hate for that to be my only criticism if this is just the fault of a lower-end camera, but I just can't get past those two.
A couple of tips. Levels and sharpening. It's still a pretty interesting shot. I think the top of the tower could have been closer to your top edge to allow more of the city in the bottom portion.
Since the day is so overcast, and the picture is slightly un-focused, would it work in black and white? I like the general composition, though I think if the tallest structure was a little bit more to the right, it would be more effective.
Foreground is a bit too dark and it is overall a bit fuzzy. Was this a handheld shot with a lot of zoom? The more you zoom, the more you need a tripod. Also, I don't see the "Now" part.
I'm not sure where this is, but the red bricking looks nice.. I think it would look even nicer in a little different lighting situation maybe... It looks a bit hazy... i also think a sharpen filter would clean this up quite nicely :) = 5 - jmsetzler
Blurry, dithered, and/or over brightened or over use of levels? Great for architechture, but where is the city "life"? The city looks like this, but what about what goes on in and around it?
