Done some modification w/ Photoshop. Especially diffuse glow. But the result is close to what I actually "saw".

Not that I am a professional photographer (or pretending to be so), so what I say may or may not violate some "rules" that I am unaware of...

But, to my untrained eye, the picture looks good, but there are a few things I would have tried to do differently... (I take it you wanted feedback :))

1: I would have cropped it a bit differently to not get the really dark bottom edge, although we are not talking about cutting out a whole lot... Maybe the last 5% or so, if that much

2: The "thing" on the right side (lower right side) of the picture, sticking out of the water, is distracting my view of the picture. There is something about how it breaks up the blue colo(u)r of the water that might be better if avoided.

Otherwise, a good picture althought the blue sky seems noisy.

What type of camera did you take this with ? Digital zoom ?

Hi,

I too like the picture. I also agree with Geir in the cropping issue, crop just above the wide part of the reflection. The crane in the background seems to be out of focus on my computer. If this is so on the orginal, I think that I would try several shots to get it in focus. Otherwise the composition and water is very pleasing.
Thanks for posting.

Picture was made with D30.
F 3.5, 1/8 s handheld, ISO 800. Next time I'll bring a tripod!!
Thanks for comments!

That would probably work better :)

I would guess the ISO setting is cause for noise, which seems to be fairly substantial in the sky part of the picture.

Good luck :)

(wish I had a D30...)
