Back to say that I thought of you the minute I saw the challenge. You taught me so much about adjusting exposure, it just made sense you'd do well here. And you did!
Very beautiful color and strong composition. I do wish we they would increase the max pixel length for challenges, this photo would present even stronger at a 720 or 800. Great job!
This is a wonderful shot with great coloring and detail. I scored this shot a 7. I dont have alot of complaints with the photo, but one thing I can say is the photo while beautiful doesnt seem to say anything to me other then its beautiful. WHat I'm trying to say in a poor way is that I dont see the main focal point of the photo. My eye goes left to right in the cityscape trying to find a main component to keep my attention and I just dont see it. Most of what I seem to draw on is the bridge however compared to the rest of the photo. Overall pretty well done.
Good detail without going overboard. One thing though, the line of buildings is a little too central (IMO). Showing more of the reflection and less sky I think would give the image more WOW (without the vignette effect though).
This is very good! Having tried to photograph the skyline over Town Lake several times -- I understand particularly how hard it is to get the correct exposure on that Frost Tower -- it seems that NOTHING keeps it from being over-exposed -- so to me -- you have utilized HDR to perfection -- and I LOVE this beautiful photo!
