I tried my best to get rid of the most "distracting" things in this photo. I really like this photo better now. But I'm not that good as of now to clone out that bus on the bridge towards the left. Should I just leave it or try harder to take it out?

The bus is travelling into the picture and so leads the eyes, so I'd definitely leave it in.

The main thing I find distracting about the image are the buildings which appear to be leaning inwards, so maybe you could work on trying to rectify that.

Personally, I would have left the people in but perhaps that's just me.

Nice shot of the bayou and the downtown skyline. Makes me miss it. I'm from Houston but living in Montana for the last 12 years.:D

I think you did a good job...agree with removing the kayak due to its bright colour but the bus just blends so no biggy. Your image could use a boost in local contrast and sharpen....try and keep the sky less exposed than the rest...close to blown.
Well Done!

Thanks!

Yeah, I was going to work on the more "technical" aspects of this photo after I deal with fixing the problems that I saw.

You should come back. Aside from the Heat and the Humidity it's not all that bad :p

Yeah, I have tried it but only for a couple of seconds. I'm still trying to figure out which would be better. lol
