Greetings from the Critique Club!
Very interesting POV of a dawn shot, as the sodium lights of the city blend in with the orange hues of dawn. However I can't tell if this is meant to be a shot of the sunrise/dawn, or a cityscape - it seems an uneasy marriage of the two. The horizon splits the image exactly in half, which gives it a bit of a staid, ho-hum quality.
It isn't a bad image but as commenters have already noted, less sky and more building might help to awe us with the skyline. Exposure is adequate, good to see you used a tripod and went for several seconds. I do like the hues and sense of a great city stirring, but feel that the composition is what's killing you here.
Hope this helps

I would have composed to include less sky and more buildings - that's the subject and where all the visual drama is happening. Had there been a dramatic sunrise, this composition would make sense, but I don't think having nearly half of the photo be of a hazy sky helps it any.
Still, I do like all the variety of shapes and colors in the skyscrapers and the monotonous yellow sprawl in the background. |
