Very nice pov and I like the beautiful trees in the foreground. The city lights look beautiful! TFS

My dear friend,
After reading your notes, I agree that the POV is the best you could find.

I like the exposure, but I would prefer it a little brighter.
I have created a workshop for this describing my version of the scene

Regards
Stelios

i think it is not a good idea to include the tree (with that proportion) in the composition. one starts to wonder whether the tree or the scenery in the "background" is your main POI. if you say it is the tree than you should include more and probably try different angle since there is nothing to see from this angle. if you say the night scene is your main POI then it is not working either because my eyes are constantly drawn to the trees on the FG.

Ciao dear friend,
marvellous panorama with a great night effect. Very good the idea to put the trees in the foreground, because the pic gain deeply. In the WS the sharpness is better, but I prefer your colours because more natural. Truly, the pic is very nice, I like it. Bravo.
Paolo.

Good Morning Sothy,

Sorry it took me so long to get to your pic. My favorite part of this pic is the lights and the reflections on the water. Did you use a tripod or just the Sothypod?

Hi Sothy,
interesting picture, in the foreground we have autumnal colours and in the background we have the lights of the city... interesting and original composition. The river separates those two worlds... Yes, it is nice idea. Good light and colours.
Best regards,
Andrzej

Hello Sothy,

Well done! Is that not Three Rivers Stadium? You have a very good vantage point, and with the tripod, you've done the best possible job with low light. The saturation level for the colors seems just right, there is a very nice turquoise tint in the water.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Sothy. This is a nice capture. The view of The Point is nice. I like the colors and the lights here. I think I would have preferred a different composition, concentrating more on the top half of the image. It feels quite tight up there.

Hi Sothy,

I love the broad range of light ... I love the way the water, the trees, and the soft feel of the autumn colors on this urban scene. I wish I had a nudge more on top .. very nice mood for this place.

take care,

John
