Critique Club Review:
Overall I really like this picture, so I'll have to nitpick here.
Perspective is a smidge off. Either the camera was a tiny bit off level, or there is some distortion from the lens. The buildings on the left should be absolutely vertical. The taller the building the more telling it is. The key to this shot is the reflections. Including all of the buildings would have made it even better. (Perhaps it wasn't possbile from available vantage points, but it is something to keep in mind.) I also might have cropped the bit of light colored building at the bitter left edge of the picture. Finishing the left edge of the building in shadow really works here, and the bit of brightness doesn't add anything.
Color and saturation is very good. Reminds me of a Kodachrome(tm) slide. The buildings are the tiniest bit soft, but at 640x480 there can only be so much sharpness.
As I said at the opening, I really like this picture. It makes me want to see it in person, which was the object of the challenge. Well done! |

| Pleasant, clear shot. It may be fun to have the reflection as the showcase to be daring. Nice work. 8 |

| Very nice reflections on the water and very nice symmetry. Almost feels a bit oversaturated. Great photo overall. |

| Exposure could not be better. A very nice scenic that really could be in a travel guide. |

| Maybe include 100% of the buildings in the reflections, instead of cutting them off..... |

| I like your photograph, but if you've played with the contrast at all it may have been a bit too much. There is a lack of detail in the dark areas and the change is too sudden on the windows. |

| Beautiful shot, the reflection of the buildings on the lake really enhances the beauty of this area. |

| Damn, I wish there was something just as remotely picturesque here in Texas. How lucky that some people get to see an image like this everyday. Great capture, nice colors. :) Just lovely. |
