Colorful Skyline Photo

Photographer’s Note

Lost in the crowd of the photographers, both professional and amateur, it was really very difficult to even try to capture this vast and so beautiful skyline of Hong Kong in camera.
The capabilities of cameras look so tiny in those situations and one just tries to gather, whatever best one could do to gratify oneself.
And if you like this idea of branch/leaves in the frame, you can credit it to my artistic acumen. This would indeed, make me forget all about that big dustbin beneath this tree, which I used as my temporary tripod. I was unable to drag it anywhere and given the circumstances, this was the best view available to capture. :-)

nice try, you may have done the best with the available conditions
now some post processing could help
i see it a bit too bright here
and one tip after resizing: add sharpness

Hello Prashant, Stunning night shot. Good use of the available conditions to capture this artificial beauty. Colors have come out really well.

kudos for the effort bro!!!! that effort is worth when you have a shot like that... i like the color on the water but buildings are slightly over exposed.

cheers

Hello Prashant,

I like the green leaves above to the picture, exactly a frame.
With these short exposure is this very difficul, F/14 on tripod and 5 seconds would still better result give . Also we get a very good composition and nice depth sight.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.
