A bit flat in the sky and looks very haxy, but nice composition and exposure! Not a bad photo overall!

A little flat and hazy, but more importantly, the horizon runs significantly downhill to the right. Leveling it up will help a bunch.

Thanks for the C&C I do not know why the heck it is so hazy. I saw that and didn't know how to fix it. I will fix the horizon line.

This is the Oakland to San Francisco Bay Area

Love the light trails of the vehicles, but maybe should of waited until a bit darker where you could of gone for a bit longer shutter exposure, with maybe a filter to cut down on the light producing that "star effect", though the sunset does work with the composition. Should of done some work on the editing.

Other than that, it is fine

I used to live there, nice shot.

Jack the contrast way up, see what that does...

I played with it a bit and came out with this... My lightroom skills are sub par at best.

Since you asked... I don't think the top of the sky does much for the photo. I would cut it off and show more city. I can;t see the original so all I have to go off of is the new edit.

Thanks for the input! I see what you are saying. Yea, I accidentally deleted the original! oops.


Thanks everyone for the critique! It really helps. When I first took the picture I thought it came out amazing but the more and more I look at it I want to go back to the same spot and retake it. Unfortunately its 40 mins from my house :(
