Miami Beach Condo

[Miamired]

While at the beach yesterday, I turned around and composed this shot. I only touched up the sky with capture NX2 (the easiest and best program for me since I know little about editing). Any comments are appreciated.............



Nikon D5000
1/750 sec.
f/4
55mm focal length
+1 exposure
iso 100 (LO1 on d5000)

This will seem strange coming from me because all I ever ask people for is MORE vibrant punchy colour but in this shot the sky blue is too vibrant and punchy for me and I suggest it needs to be toned down just a hint.

Also for contrast the left of building against the blank white cloud doesn't work for me; suggest play with contrast settings to see if you can get the building to fit in the scene more naturally (hard to explain it's a feeling I have that contrast changes could help).

Keep going!
Good first post!

I have to agree with inconceivable on all points. The sky and cloud are stealing the show in this photo. Overall the photo makes me think of a postcard from the 50s. I guess that means it has a retro look for me.

both comments are duly noted....the most comment i got was the postcard comment............so thanks................
