From the Critique Flag

Hi- IMO you have improved upon your image a great deal. The lighting is much better and you can clearly see the skyline. I like the color, they complement each other very well.

However your photograph does have a couple distractions to me. As I always say if it don't enhance your photograph get ride of it and I think the boat falls into that saying. It appears withing the 25 seconds that you were taking the photograph the boat was moving ever so slightly causing it to be out of focus. I would of (if possible) moved more to the right as go get the boat out of frame but still leaving the tallest building in frame. You don't want to loose that building.

With this being an advanced editing challenge I would of used a layer to tone down the blown out lights at the top of the buildings. Other than that you did a great job improving over your original challenge.

Overall good photograph with niche lighting and composition. I would of rid the picture of those few distractions but thats all. The color is great.

Keep up the good work and I hope you find this critique helpful.

regards,
SDW

Qiki? Retake of City Moorings? This is an improvement without a doubt. You can see more detail, the foreground isn't so cluttered. Very nice, but you still seem to having some focus or clarity issues. I didn't get a chance to vote on the original but if I had it would have gotten a 4 or 5, this one gets a 7 for improvement and effort :)

I am not a lover of landscapes in a square format...

The focus is a bit wobbly, unless it is my eyes...
