thanks for critique, it was really helpfull, all have a critique about my dead space on the top, i think you all are right, to much space Man,
my first try was to have some balance between the sky and the water but i think that dident work at all : (
Great night shot. I think you got punished on this one due to the "Did not meet Challenge" issue. Some people might've had a hard time looking for the contrasting colours. I think that was your main problem on this one.
Commenting on the image - GREAT shot. Lovely colour and Sharpness. Maybe could've cropped a little away from the sky and include more of the water. Lots of "dead" space at the top.
Photo might also be a bit small - Try using the full 640pixels allowed.
Remember that this is my views only. Take it or leave it - Up to you.
Let me tell you what I like;
Great night shot. Very little to no noise, Love the lights (I am a sucker for night shots). Nice long exposure to smoothen the water surface. All in All - Above average night shot.
What brought your scores down (IMHO);
The "does not fit the challenge issue". Think this is the most influencing factor that contributed to such a low score for such a nice image.
Complimenting on the night shot - Sharpness is good - Might try to crop our some of the sky though. Get more of the water in.
Truly a nice image. Pity about the DNMC issue. Keep up the good work.
Excellent exposure, great complementary colours. Would have been even stronger if you used some colour balance of selective colour in PS maybe. Regardless, I like this alot and makes a great change from all the flowers in this challenge. 8
4 - Good potential. Bigger (640) and a stronger crop, especially at the top, for this Challenge, to accentuate the colors, make this better in my opinion. Some tweaking pp to get the colors a little more vivid 'somehow' too, although likely difficult with the exposure/lights/etc. Perhaps a sharper/more unusual perspective may have also given this a little extra not sure.
