    I combined some images in both tungsten and daylight exposures. and did an erase to work on the foreground pedestal.

    Steve - I've looked at this a few times (probably upped your view count). I like the warm colors but I am ambivalent about the pedestal on the lower left which is why I looked a few times. I think in the end (from a screen crop) I would prefer it without that pedestal and putting more emphasis on the skyline.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Steve, I looked at Rachel's suggestion and cropped as a pano with the pedastal eliminated does make the sculpture a stronger element within the image since the pedastal is playing a dominant role.
    With that being said due to the merge of the sculpture and the skyline the impact of the sculpture is reduced. I would have preferred there wasn't any hot areas on the sculpture but realise thats almost impossible due the lights underneath.
    Finally, looking at it as a whole I find it an interesting image...

    Hey Steve,
    Well......I could go with the pano......but I also like the balance of the OP. My only suggestion is to bring up the dark areas of the sculpture a bit.....but all in all, I like this as presented!

    I like this Steve...our cities down here have no real skylines to photograph, much less rivers running through them

    Maybe some more NR on the sky?
