Challenge: Free Study 2009-04 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D300
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED
Date: Apr 22, 2009
Date Uploaded: Apr 27, 2009

 2 images tone mapped in Photomatix, NI, curves, desat yellows and reds slightly, Adamus sharpen, resize, SFW.

I know the composition is lacking. Wish I had used the wide angle, but I like the drama of it.

POST CHALLENGE
Thanks for all the nice comments. I was concerned about the composition in cutting out the left side of the bridge, but there might have been too much negative space then. It seems like night shots are a good bet for DPC voters.

The side lighting is a little distracting, but overall a quality shot.

An incredible image of Rochester, NY - a complete technical and artistic success. This image has high impact and wow factor with it's rich combination of color and detail with properly controlled highlights and lighting. A terrific demonstration of how to properly capture an image for maximum impact. A very worthy entry into the challenge and one that should win a ribbon. Well done.

Rochester!! Cool picture. My suggestion might be to cool off your white balance a little so it isn't so orange. Nice job with the photo tho!
