Wow, gorgeous. The colors are fantastic, light is amazing. This has an HDR look to it -- did you combine exposures?

Not sure whether I like the fisheye effect here or not... I think it may have looked better if the towers were more centered. Exposure is spot on and I love the colors though.

For that lens, this is THE shot!

I cannot imagine any composition for that scene and that lens that would be more appropriate.

Congratulations!

Thanks for the feedback.....No, this is one shot. I did increase the saturation by 1 notch in DPP and sharpen it in PS.

Yeah.....the fisheye lens gives a distorted view. Thanks for the comment.

To Robert_Lay
I have taken a few shots from different viewpoint around the towers, I also find this is one of the better composition I have composed to depict the majestic of the twin towers with this lens. Thank you for the feedback. I shall print this big and hang it in my office wall.

Cheers

I like the distortion -- but it is one sided. Normal framing doesn't really apply here since the fisheye effect spirals outward from the center. Since you put the towers to the left in the photo, one side of them has a lot more distortion than the other. Would like to see it done maybe with framing the towers dead center so the fisheye effect evenly effects the towers.

A great shot. The fisheye really works well in this shot :)

Very nice indeed. One I've been looking at since you posted it, waiting for my thoughts to solidify. They haven't changed much actually. I'd like just a touch more foreground, showing a meter or two more of the path at right. And, I just can't shake the feeling that parts of the base of the buildings look soft, but I can see single pixels with good contrast which suggests otherwise, and the histogram shows no overexposure. Still, I feel like the light has spread a little or something's wrong. I'm sure you can see far more detail on your monitor and ignore me if nothing's really wrong. Cheers, Tony

the composition is good and the lighting is also very good, but i just don't like the fisheye at all. :(

Wah!!! so many feedbacks.....and many thanks to all of you for taking to share your thoughts with me on this one.

I will plan for another photographic opportunity of this twin towers but this time I hope to introduce some drama elements within it to spice up the pic.....

Cheers

Definately the right choice of lens on this shot. I really like how well the lighting came out also. Really good shot.
