Couple Shots from trip in Seattle CC

Let me know what you all think

saturation seems a bit elevated.

hmm I only bumped the saturation by +1 in lightroom, do they look over saturated?

this could be just me to for my style I tend to like big bold colors.

Here is another one from a hike there

I'm a bit mixed on photo #1. City scenes are not something I normally tend to admire but other times I can see something of worth in them.

In photo #2 I find the lens flare distracting. I will agree with Chauncey somewhat. The photo tends to make my eyes look at the reflection in the water which I don't feel is the focal point of the shot.

Photo #3 is uninteresting plus there are visible spots that indicate your sensor is in dire need of cleaning.

My opinion only.

In photo 2, I keep getting distracted by the buildings leaning in different directions. The buildings on the left are leaning right, but the right most building in that cluster, plus the one in the BG are leaning left. Maybe you want to play around with the distortion settings to see if you can straighten them out.

First is good as memory of the trip. Second has too much dead sky in it. I want camera to follow reflections on the bottom.

Do you think the second would be better with a tighter crop up top?

After looking again at #1...it seems to look saturated as in some movie scenes...not a bad thing though.

I wouldn't downplay image 1 in any way. It's a strong cityscape image with good balance and lots of visual interest. You have reason to be proud of this one.
