Nice picture, and I like the post you did on it. My "problem" with the picture is that you cut off the top, and left too much bottom.

I agree that the crop needs to be balanced out a little, otherwise you have done an excellent job in adding "Pop" to your original image. I've only had Photoshop CS4 for about a month, so most of the editing I do, is still with GIMP. You could try using the "Dodge and Burn" tool, set to "Burn Highlights", to darken up the reflection in the mid to upper right section. That would give the image a darker "Urban" feel (similar to "Sin City"). Give it a try, and see what you think. Even if you wind up with something totally different than what you originally had in mind, you still get to experiment with your editing program. Who knows, if you don't like the results now, it may be just the technique that you need for a future shot.

Yep I also like what you have done. Also great that you included the before shot.
With regards to the crop your photo looked ok to me until it was pointed out.
I guess you wanted the the large red flower to be the eye catcher which it does so well.

Thx for posting this.

Do all the tags in Austria look like this? If so, I would love to come there! I really like what you did with this image except the crop. I am a Gimp user myself, and it's nice to see clean looking photos that can be rendered from it.
