    Default Summer Sunset

    Although I made sure I was shooting this on the level, at 24mm, the buildings on the edges are leaning in, but I kind of like the effect. There's just too much construction in the shot to make it a keeper/printable, I think.

    Awesome sky, and a very cool cityscape. I think the cranes show that the city is expanding... I wouldn't discount a print and a frame.

    hmmm - I really like this shot but are you 100% sure...

    "I made sure I was shooting this on the level, at 24mm"

    ....how did you make sure? To me it looks like the level was off - but it's an easy fix in PS provided u are ready to crop a bit.

    I;m with iggy - cool cityscape - worth saving.

    Lovely photo. The colour in the sky is a wonderful backdrop. You may want to watch/correct the chromatic aberration visible on the buildings on the left.

    I agree with Marko, it seems just a little off, tilted ever so slightly to the right...if you cover the buildings on the left, the tilt appears, which brings me to another idea...have you thought about cropping out the buildings on the left? It does change the image drastically, though. There is something about this image, though! I like it!
    Keep an eye on that 'Tools of the Trade' project thread in the assignments forum...I try to add new pictures often!
