I got a lot of good feedback from people around me on it, but I find there's a lot of room for improvement, just don't know where so C&C please!

Michaelmjc not cool enough  4,834 posts Joined May 2004 Location: Toronto, Ontario More info | Jan 23, 2006 23:09 | #2 I would try a longer exposure, get those lights brighter and a nice glow on the water. The water is pretty dark and hard to see. Might also want to try a bit tihgter crop, not so tall.

I was there in august for the first time and stayed with a friend that lives at the foot of Mount Royal, pretty much straight down from the cross in the top right corner of your shot (he went to mcgill)... and I must say, compared to winnipeg, montreal is an amazing place to take pictures. from the modern downtown, to the glory of the old port... i wandered around that city in awe of it all.

What great city! So vibrant and alive! Crop! Chop off the left and right sides where nothing much is happening. Bring the sky down to where the glow starts to appear. Bring the bottom up to about where that highlight shows in the water from the clock tower's reflection. Make it look more like a pano. Play with the contrast and shadow detail, and try a little saturation to make those colored lights pop out a little more. Then post it again for us to see. A B&W guy in an RGB world!

More info | Jan 26, 2006 19:39 | #8 I think it needs more contrast, brightness and saturation... Not sure if this is right but closer to what I prefer. I think it's difficult for me to make the adjustments with the file size being so small.  Arguing with a psycho clown can be harmful to your funny bone.
