Dublin City, Ireland

I have never done a reflection image as such before, so could you please advice me on I could have executed it better? And also please critique as well.

Thanks

Very nice, well executed, only thing i'd say is getting some more of dublins more obvious landmarks in frame would make a nice addition. Where was this taken, the courts behind you?

One more point to nit pick over is the sky looks slightly over-exposed, but its not taking away too much from the picture

No this was taken not so far from templebar, the four courts I presume you mean is in the far distance, the building with the round roof top.

Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it.

The exposure doesn't bother me too much, but the picture does seem to be leaning to the right just a bit. Of course, my eyes could be deceiving me.

Didn't notice that till it was pointed out,, can see what your getting at, still think its a great image though.

Body, lens, exif?

I shot this at f10, iso 200 at 1/50 sec. I used a sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 and this was shot at 13mm. I have a canon 500D

I have noticed it alright, I will fix it later. Cheers

I dont have many lenses or equipment to my name, but they do me for now!

The list is: Canon 500D, Sigma 30mm 1.4, 50mm 1.8, sigma 10-20 f4-5.6, canon 70-200 f4 L, canon 430ex flash, flash gels, filters and some more fun stuff!

I straightened it a little bit and I also recovered the sky using layers in pshop , as I agree that the sky was a bit overexposed. I also fixed CA cause there was a lot on the rooftops and went for a more dramatic colour effect overall. I much prefer this image now, the way it is....

What you think??

Works a bit better imho, nice to see a bit of red coming through in the sky and reflected, rotation barely noticeable but all comes together well. Find myself looking at the buildings rather than the sky holding all my attention. It makes dublin look nice, and thats never easy

Ever played with Topaz Adjust? It can really make this shot pop. You don't have image editing permissions enabled or I would post an example.

Explain, is this a pshop addon....?

Yes....Topaz makes a variety of plug-ins for PS.

I will look into that. Cheers for your help, I appreciate it.

Nice picture. The clouds and their corresponding reflection remind me of a fish. For some useful critique I would like to see it at a more "golden hour", but this is pretty nice as is.

you should post your unedited image to see the changes you made

I like the edited version though
