Default haze at midnight....

Hi all, this is the set in Disney for the fountains show, due to the haze and cold, it was eclipsed. Any way the show went on.

Can you please critic composition and exposure?

Thanks Art

What are you trying to convey? It doesn't say much to me although I can see some interest/ potential.

I am trying to reflect the haze scene surrounding the set, did I miss?

Nice shot. The lights and fog make it a really peaceful scene.

Well as for composition, the horizon line is right in the middle of the picture. Landscapes usually look better if the horizon is more up or down, instead of right in the middle.

Maybe it's partly because of the fog, but it looks like nothing is really in focus. In an image, if nothing is in focus, people usually aren't drawn to it for as long. Without a focal point, I find my eyes wandering around the image, looking for the subject of the photo.
Maybe if the building on the far left were in focus, it would be better, in my personal opinion.

The whole thing seems a little noisy. You can run it through a de-noise filter (I think that's what it's called) in PP to fix that.

The exposure seems fine to me.

Overall, cool shot. A little editing, or even a re-shoot can make this even better.

It's a nice picture I think exposure is good... As far as composition... I feel there's a bit too much water. I think you might have been trying to catch the complete reflection of the the structure on the water... I'm not sure how the sky was at night with the fog and the lights... but sometimes fog gives some really weird lighting effects in the sky.. specially if there was a carnival with many colors... Maybe I would have gone higher a couple of inches i.e. less water and more sky... first to drop the horizon... and second to capitalize on the weird lighting in the fog... I have a couple of pictures in my gallery on my blog with nice fog effects
