Pictures of a Brisbane City and Story Bridge

Hey, just after some ideas on how to improve these photos.

I know this one seems to be underexposed. Focus was set on the white "AAMI" building. Any other ways to improve this photo?

Any ideas for this one? Should I have included the railing? Also how do I keep the sky from being blown out?

Hi Dale, nice to see another Queenslander on here!

With this one, I just did a quick couple of gradient masks to open up the foreground. Then a bit of saturation to boost the colour. Only 30 seconds' work, but hopefully enough to show where I would go with it.

Try that.

Wow, what a bit of image editing can do

What did you do twofruitz to get that result?

Any ideas for my composition at all? Do I need to get rid of the immediate foreground? (railing in the bridge photo, pathway in city photo)
