Number one doesn't do much for me, but I'm not into city shots - technically it looks good. The red box, sign or whatever on the right, seems a little bright and the ads on the center building are a little distracting. Like the bridge / highway in the foreground.

The second one is really nice - love the sense of motion and the horizontal lines. As is, it's fine, but the only thing that really bothers me is the curved white line at the bottom - wish it was more horizontal. I like the palette - the color's are Michael Bay/transformers-ish (orange/bluey-cyan)

This was my first HDR conversion and I cropped out a good amount problem areas from the image but couldn't get them all :0

Thank you - this was the first time I've taken such a shot. I modified the colors abit in color xfex pro.

Somewhere between the first & second shot you can get some really interesting stuff. Lotsa' links here!

Not really getting much feedback in this section of forum for some reason. Do they have technical problems? let me know.. Maybe they're boring? not a problem.. let me know :)

Is there a better section to post these with more activity?

thanks for that link... I got some great info from a few of those. I'm looking to do panning shots in the next few weeks.

I like the first one. Nice blue sky (presume CPL of grad ND?) and the road leads into the shot. I'd maybe crop halfway between the Earnst & Young building and the "W" and then slightly adjust the distortion a bit. That would eliminate half of the red sign and the rest of the overpass.

I really like the second one, had it been more traffic It would've looked better. The first one seems fine to me, it looks as if it would be a really nice night shot. It looks "busy" which is what I'm sure what you wanted, I wouldn't crop it.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I can't crop this anymore as its already borderline too much when at higher res. Looking forward to shooting some more in HDR

First looks very good, second interesting almost fake tilt effect but would be a good candidate for a night shoot.
