Doesn't feel quite contrasty enough to me but still a very lovely picture.

I like the feeling of depth created here, although the sky looks a little too bright in comparison with the rest of the frame.

The best urban shot. The sky is incredible. The moving boat is a great feature to what would have been too static of a shot. Nice job.

The line the moving boat draws across the harbour or river (?) is what makes the image work fore me. The contrast is interesting, but a bit too balanced, too averaged out to make it AA quality.

Comment by coolhar:
too contrasty I think, I like the depth of field, the clouds look a little soft

Ahh, a refreshing cityscape. I like this alot. A wide tonal range from the clouds to the watercraft. I like how you captured the wake of the boat, it really adds to the depth. Much detail to take in. IMO you've captured a good representation of AA's techniques and ranges. You've met the challenge well in that the purpose was to emulate AA not neccesarily try to duplicate it, othewise you may have journeyed out to Ayers Rock. Good luck with this well composed compositon that gets high marks from me (despite my submitting a landscape, lol).
