Seems flat to me. No dimension to it.

What is with the sky?

Halos are everywhere, and the crop is odd? Very helter skelter feel for me.sorry.

Nope, not HDR...mainly I wanted it to look like a postcard or something like that. Hope that next time the results will be better.

I find this image very interesting! People tend to look at images from one dimension.... but this one as an image definitely is interesting. Keep up the great work!

jetcode · 12th of November 2009 (Thu)

I like the print tone of the buildings but am not crazy about the sky even if expressive and creative, it isn't consistent enough for my tastes to be a conclusive element. It is interesting in the 3rd building from the left that the windows progressively shrink in size from bottom to top, not quite a golden mean ratio but definitely similar.

I'm not a fan of the post processing.

howaboutnow · 12th of November 2009 (Thu)

There is a halo around the top of the houses, plus there is a funny curvy line in the sky, plus there seems to be no depth whatsoever. I think you can capture Amsterdam better then this!

mikekelley · 12th of November 2009 (Thu)

i would love this if the cars werent there!

neilrohrbacker · 12th of November 2009 (Thu)

over processed...

hdco1209 · 12th of November 2009 (Thu)

I agree that it's over-processed and one reason that's so noticeable is that the image lacks a focal point...my eyes don't quite know where to look, so they look at the processing. Doesn't seem to have a point of view.

I think it looks like an 80's maybe 90's video from Peter Gabriel- waiting for the cars to start moving and the music to start. Please don't be offended, I say that because I LOVE it!!! It is very unique, flat and bizarre all at the same time. For modern artsy-effect, in my book you get an A+

I think the picture had more potential with a real sky. Just my 2 cents. I like all the windows.
