Default Money Central

Hello to all, this is my first posting on the forum. The shot was taken last December ans shows the new annex of the Central Bank of Malta. i liken the unusual colour of the sky and decided to shoot a pic. Equipment used was a NIkon D70s, 35-80mm lens, F16 at 2.5s using a tripod - an ND filter was used.

Emvin,

Thank you for the large sample and the information. The sample gives an opportunity to really appreciate how wonderful this moment was for you to record it, and the info means if I ever see something this grand, I'll have a better chance of a good capture. One word: more! Well done.

Very nicely done! Love the colors and the contrast between the buildings and sky and that there isn't too much focus on either to get one distracted from the overall view.

I love the composition.
Was just wondering, why did you use a neutral density filter? Also @ f16, I imagine a "crisper image"!
