Here I am [again].

Here for critiques, conseils, suggestions.... everything would help me to know what to keep, what to throw away and what to modify about my 'technic'.

Thanks in advance

Good capture
But just a thought to lose about half the sky
give it a try overall colour and expouser is spot on

Cheers

I think both of the Amsterdam shots are good. Nice colors and lines, they are interesting to view.

Rather than croping out the sky after shooting, try and include more of the foreground and less sky while composing the shot.

I too seem to always include too much sky in my shots.

But I find more interesting the sky with its clouds than the ground. In fact, it may contain objects that can ruin the whole composition.

This is just an opinion. And soon I will try to follow these suggestions in order to achieve a better result and experiment


Cheers

I dont know how to find the EXIF using Photoshop. I know I am a newbie. I do not use PS that much.
Btw the ISO is 200 or less. I have blocked it for a better result.

The pics are in jpg and the second one is quality (4/10) for web reasons (flickr has a small amount of mb available per month).


If you can teach how to find the EXIF, I will provide the EXIF for the first pic.

Like your other picture, I like the perspective which is in harmony with the river. I'm wondering though if it could be cropped just a little more off the sides bringing the viewer to appreciate the gorgeous building in the center with less distraction from the tree branches protruding from the left and the continuing length of the building on the right. It looks like you enjoyed a gorgeous day in Amsterdam!
