Welcome to TE, Andre. This is one of the many great views of CN Tower.

I tried a little workshop with this one, particularly in order to move the tower a bit away from the center, and to try to bring out some more details of the interesting red houses on the left. Hope you don't mind.

Remember to include some notes with your future postings; it will highly increase the amount of feedback you will get.

Nice shot of the CN tower! I knew there was something I'd forgotten to do - actually write the critique, I posted the Workshop a couple of hours ago - oops! As the others have already mentioned your composition is good, but I think it can be enhanced a little more - I'd consider moving the tower slightly more towards a third line. There are some techniques you can use to increase foreground brightness (like blended exposures), but since we have this to play with I've applied contrast masking - I think there's also a slight tilt, consider rotating it 0.62°CCW. An interesting first image!

Welcome to TrekEarth :-)

Nice shot Andre. I would crop the right part of the pic to bring the subject off center. Happy Hollidays.

Dear Andre,
I think this shot demonstrates the need to consider the exposure procedure; if your camera has an exposure lock then you can lock the exposure on, say, the red brick buildings - this would then lighten the whole scene. If not what is required then lock on the centre glass building.
I have made a workshop for you to consider. Post-processing can alter photos but it is always best to start from where you want to go rather than make corrections later.
By the way, I have added your photo to the TV Tower Theme.
Regards,
Tony Eden
