Hello and welcome to DPS.

I think your shot is very nice, the timing for it is great and the composition is even better. one little thing, i would rotate the shot a few degrees counter clockwise to have the buildings look straight.

I like this shot. The sky looks really nice as well as the lights in the city and their reflections on the water, overall I think it has a real pleasing feel. I do agree that it does look like it needs just a slight straightening though. Nice Job.

Fantastic shot! The exposure is spot on and the composition is great. You managed to make sense of an incredibly busy scene. Very nicely done.

I do agree that it is slightly off-level. A small adjustment will easily fix it.

A lovely romantic shot, but perhaps it's sharpened a little too much??? Just a personal preference there...

good to see people taking high quality pics like this with 'consumer' cameras and lenses. I think this shot wouldn't be out of place in a calendar or postcard.

I think the shot is awesome! I like the reflection of light on the boat hulls. The boats draw you deeper into the shot and the skyline. Thanks for sharing.

this is pretty nice actually... i like the balance of the lights w/ the light of the sky... composition is pretty nice too... i'd be curious what a shot from a lower vantage point would look like...

btw ppl on forums fail at contributing... 200 views and 5 replies?...
