The Saginaw and Ren Cen

[mikoyan]

I'm not sure if this belongs in Landscape or here, so I'll put it here. This is another of the pictures that I took last night. This one is the Saginaw and the Renaissance Center in Detroit.

From Michigan Exposures

The Fun Stuff
Model Canon EOS 50D
ISO 400
Exposure 1/500 sec
Aperture 7.1
Focal Length 170mm

This is another one that I actually like but in the efforts in improving this, I'll put it here.

What I like about it:
The colors, I took it near sunset so I have the oranges and stuff from that.

What I don't like:
The picture seems unbalance. Do I want the ship or the building?

Basically, I'm looking for some advice on the composition. Thanks.

I agree. Either the ship or the building. If you go with the building I suggest a portrait crop and tone down the bright reflection on the top floors. Or a tight crop on the ship. Give both a try and see which one you prefer.

That's kind of what I thought...thanks.

In the future with a similar shot why not try a more open apeture to narrow the DOF to blur the building more.

I have a few shots like that and I do like them.
