Sunset in Alexandria, a photo from Virginia, South

Photographer's Note

This is was my first post on TE. I did not perform any sort of post processing. So i decided to play around wit Neat Image and PS a little.

The tall building in the foreground is a hotel, no need to mention the chain name. The picture was taken from the balcony of the building I used to live back then.

Nikos, nice colours of the sky! also I think is much better than the original one. But I think you overdid it in sharpening and as a result you have this white lines around the bulding's edges...Apart that I do like it a lot. Cheers!

I like the natural colours of the sunset very much in this shot. The night is here, the ground is tinted with darkness, but those lights make the night charming.

The contrast between the lights and the natural sunset far behind created a well organised nice picture. Well done.

Very dark and strong coloursetting works well in this pix Nikos. Interesting to see the same coloursetting in the distant sky as on the streets. You sure had a nice view at the time.

I agree with Enia. Too much sharpening! But it's a well composed photo with lovely dark colors!

Very nice and strong colors. The almost silhouette of the big building show nice shapes but gives us room for imagining whats in the dark.

Good composition only a bit too sharp in IMO.
