NYC Downtown
Using a mirror to create this reflection.
I wanted to try a mirror on something different than feathers :)
it was way more difficult than I thought, the angle of the mirror had to be so low that I had difficilties havin the mirror parallel to the city. Once I had had it half way decent, the wind picked up and started to move the mirror enough to blur the images.
CP for better reflection control and boost colors.
Timing: right at sunset, which is reflecting in the buildings (shot taken away from the sun)
I hope you like it.
Procesing
straightened on water line of mirror image
flipped, not rotated to the view towards the city would be the same and not reversed when rotated
Then the usual s/h, levels curves, contrast, ni, usm,
preparation for web resize, usm, add borders, save for web
I cold not clean up the reflections on the water (basic editing!)

I love the detail in the cityscape and the reflection, I am really not sure though if I like that thick band going through the middle, if that had been half the depth it would have been an awesome image, as it is it's still stunning but sits a little awkward. I would love to see this as a straight shot without the reflection it's the sort of thing I could see sitting on a studio flat wall.
ok first thing first, I absolutely love this picture. The colors in the sky mixing with the warm colors of the city, perfect rule of thirds, stunning. Secondly Im not sure how you achieved this and I hope it was legal
DAMMIT I WAS GONNA TRY TO DO THIS!!!! Awesome, from Hoboken I presume? the reflection you caught is just great, whats extra interesting is all the space in between.. good luck 9
