Artificial Waterfall

[alexan_k]

Hi all,

This is an artificial waterfall in Dubai Mall.

Please C&C , specially about composition.

There is no much colors so I converted it to B&W, I am not sure if that was a good decision.

Exposure: 18mm, F6.3, 1/5s, ISO200 (Canon 18-55mm IS)

I am totally loving this lens's IS and sharpness.

the vertical lines the falling water and the inward curvature, give the appearance of moving away from you as you scroll down the page
maybe a bit of unsharp mask to fix the soft look.

Thanks for your comment, the softness is due to the motion blur of the falling water, I intended that so I used 1/5s shutter speed. But the jumping men seem sharp to me isn't it?

Thanks

it may just be my screen, the men look a bit on the soft side, you could try and isolate then in PS and use smart sharpen in the filter menu, to bring out some of the detail in the sculpted contours.
