I love the colors in that sunrise shot. Perhaps the bldg could be straightened a bit, so it is not falling whichever way. I am not very good at that, have to have book open on my lap to do it.

Some people do it easily, or maybe it doesn't need doing. I am sure someone will be along on that shortly.

I do love the colors. And the nice sharp bldgs.

Nice! I agree, maybe you could rotate it slightly ccw. Also, do you have access to any noise filtering programs like Neat Image? They could clean up the sky a bit.

They could clean up the sky a bit.I don't have one, but Bill just told me about one he uses. It has a 30 day free trial period, I might try it on Shem Creek over the weekend.

Our thread is on the group above this, not sure which one, but if interested, I could find out more. I don't have neat image, myself. I just want to clean up Shem Creek, this one is about 44.00, but as I said a free 30 day trial period. I would hope that there was no money upfront.

Ginger, Neat Image is free. :thumb

You can download the "demo" (the free version for non-commercial use) here (http://www.neatimage.com/download.html).

Lovely shot, scrambus (great handle!) Have you toyed with shedding a little more light on the very dark lower portions of the buildings - just add a little extra to see what it looks like? Love the grey feel and the look of the central building.

Nice shot. NeatImage and the noise aside, I have a slight recommendation. To me, the main subject is that rather large building you captured in the center. I feel that building on the left could be easily cropped out to clean up the iamge some more. Also, I would probably crop out some of the right (maybe a little after the ice rink?). Great work.
