The bigger one is much nicer. I like the shot as well. I wish the whole dock-structure thing was larger though...maybe that's just me. This image has many possibilities for further play. I might try playing with the water's tones a bit more perhaps a wee bit lighter. Was this indeed shot close to 10 PM at night?

I like it, it is a good photo but I find the dock too centered in the photo, throws the perspective off. I think the dock should have been lower in the shot. Great cloud formation, clear. The dock also ends to bluntly to close to the edge of the frame, you follow it with your eyes and it just stops with no lead off. As always just my

Something is not in the right place, or could be in a better angle, as Acadia says.
I shot this at quarter to 10, because it wasn't dark outside, I mean I could still catch that sky.
I'll try to take another shot, and to follow Acadie's suggestions, but the dock is not too long. I'll see there, what can I do.
Thanks Kat, Iguanasan, Barefoot, thank you all !

It's very pretty! Looks like a lovely, calm evening.

I love the texture of the sky! Was that natural? Im curious! Great shot! I like the reflection of the lights in the water also.

Almost natural. The only think that I did is a little bit of contrast and crop, nothing more.Originally Posted by Chantelle

Tough shot to critique indeed Lovin ... nice work.
I think I can only add that I'd have gone the opposite to Marko and zoomed out a bit further to capture more of that sky and more of the light reflections. F18 really caught some nice little star bursts from the lamp posts too. Like that.
I (think) would probably reduce the blue colour a little in the sky and boost the red and yellow up a tad.
On the other hand ... you could just leave it as is

Zooming out more is not an option, because of the rocks that could distract the eye, only getting more of the sky.
Hmm, I'll do a different crop. Let's see.

Rocks in the foreground might add interest. Depends of course.
