 Something more traditional and perhaps a little boring. Cheers

Used my ND grad filter to bring out the sky.

This has an excellent balance to it, in my opinion, and the gray suits your subject very well. I quite like the city off to the left, the posts leading to it. Works for me.

there is so much you can do with this scene, I would really encourage you to go back there and keep shooting it. A longer exposure would bring a silkiness to the water, and those poles could be captured as the focal point, with less sky and more city in the background.

A good solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but of less than universal appeal. A good entry into the challenge.

I really like the light in this photo, but for me, the composition is a bit lacking. Someone gave me some advice on one of my photo's -

Just from what I've read though, there is one main thing here you want to avoid. A centered horizon. The better landscape shots have the horizon less centered in the shot. There is either more ground, or more sky, and there's always some kind of focal point. Something to look at, which is offered in a way which leads to viewer to expand their vision to the rest of the photo.

I started changing up my horizon point and it does make more interesting pictures. Good luck.

There's another Seattle photo in the challenge that looks like it was taken from more or less the same place. I like the juxtaposition of the skyscrapers and the cranes inthis one.
