Hi Don, many many thanks for the thoughtful reply, the suggested edits and the example image. This is tremendously helpful. Yes, this was a single image, still learning about post production options for combining exposures. I was hoping for, and I think generally realized, that look of warm, inviting interior for the diners glowing out on the early evening scene. But yes, bringing down the highlights and cropping out distracting elements makes a ton of sense. I'm going back to the RAW and seeing if I can tighten it up. The sharping alone on your example made a big difference in the image. Thanks again! Roger

Very nice photo. I like the silky smooth water. HDR is a good option when shooting scenes like this. Don's advice is good.

Thanks Roger... A second look shows I have pushed the sharpening a little to much... most obvious in your name.

Don's repost and suggestions are excellent. The brightest highlights are, however, a bit problematic ... Especially the interior lights and the stuff just to the left of the building.
How's the food?
with love, artie

Thanks Artie. I didn't repost but I did re edit with Don's suggestions and much happier with the sharpened image and reduced highlights. The food is so so, I haven't eaten there in years but the view is the best part :-)
