I hate to bore you with another NYC skyline but i like this shot and i'm uncertain with my pp on it. I haven't done much to enhance it, some USM, dodge and burn and colors. Hmm nevermind maybe i did do a little PP :lol: Now that i look at it i am thinking it's a touch on the dark side, maybe raise the exposure a bit?... before i go crazy lemme know what you guys think.

I actually have two othershots of the rest of the skyline to the left however, when i stitch them together with CS2 photomerge the last photo is always a different color... Me being overexcited to get the shot before it rained on me forgot to lock exposure on cam before shooting. i tried to match it in post but it's always a bit off. Any suggestions?

It doesn't look too dark on my monitor. I like this one. Those... uh... wood things on the right kinda add to it. :)

Nice. Very moody. The pylons really make the water in foreground work.

Great composition!

And not too dark.

I really like it just the way it is. The darkness works to give it a nice stormy look.

MikeKS, I love the color scheme you got going on there. Do you mind sharing the original picture without any PP?
What time of the day did you take the picture? I guess it was taken in cloudy conditions.

I just recently posted some skyline pics of Montreal here which were taken right after sunset. I would love your feedback on how to tweak them by PP.

Nice shot. has a bit of an HDR feel with those clouds. Sometimes simple is best, so I think this is processed enough for me.

Thanks for the kind compliments fellas:o

Here is the original without any PP

The shot was taken @ 8:30pm. The sun is just behind the buildings.
Shot @ 17 mm ISO 100 2.5 sec f/14

the original isn't far off from the end product.

I played with the WB a little bit in Lightroom, Lowered exposure. Fussed with the selective luminance in Lightroom too.

I exported to CS2 and burned the building's and bridge in a little by opening a new layer, in new layer box changing mode to "overlay" then clicking the box that says "Fill with Overlay-neutral color (50% gray). You can then use the brush tool selecting either color black or white to dodge or burn what you want in your photo. I then added some USM ( 143% radius: 3 threshold 10 )

Another shot of the Brooklyn bridge??? :) It looks nice. What caught my attention is the ice like water and the broken piers..

I like this photo. It has good lines and feel to it. I would love to see a night shot with a bit more color and contrast.
