A nice shot, but the main problem is that the vertical edges are not vertical. Remember that a feature and its reflection in water should be exactly vertically in line. Here you need to rotate the image clockwise by about 2 degrees. Ideally, you should correct for perspective distortion and barrel distortion while you are at it. The image will then look like this:

The exposure is fine, though I think I would have waited a few minutes until it was a bit darker to get a better feeling of dusk. Composition-wise, I think it looks better cropped at the top of the trees. As it is, I'm left wanting to see more of the skyscrapers. Maybe a downwards or upwards tilt of the camera would have been better than this in-between shot.

john_houghton,

John, I got that shot again on another day and see if I have improved, bearing all of this in mind I should get a pretty good shot. I think I didn't have the zoom ability to get all of the buildings and I was not standing straight when I took the shot.

Feedback is so helpful, thank you. I am still a newbie but I am trying.

Big Smile,
