    Hi Troy, I really like what you did with this. There is a dramatic graphic quality to the image which is enhanced by an interesting sky. The composition is also well divided. I was able to straighten the lean on the end buildings by mildly using the lens correction tool in CS5.. Overall nicely handled!!..... OOPs I reposted the original and deleted the corrected version. If so desired play with the tool...

    Dave,

    Can you tell me what you did in the lens correction filter? What settings?
    Thank you.

    Troy - nicely done. I like the b&w conversion and treatment here. Nice job on the stitching.

    TFS,

    Troy, go to the custom section and gently play with the vertical bar.

    Hey Troy,
    Been away so sorry for the late reply. I generally don't mind perspective lean.......so no big deal for me but I did +3 on the vert. Sometimes I feel it even adds to the scene but as you can see.....there can be debate on that and I'm OK if you leave it.
    I do think if you select just the skyline and tweak both the levels and brightness/contrast.....to bost some of the duller tones.....it gives it more depth. I reposted pretty agressively to show you an example but as usual.....you can tweak it to your tastes. Finally, I cropped. I didn't feel the LH side sky and clouds peeking in added. You could clone/patch them out.....and that too would work......but hope this at least gives you a few ideas. Let me know your thoughts on the repost as I think the OP comp was very good and all I did was tweak it!

    I really like the exposure and the DOF.
    Water, sky and buildings all look great.
    Dave's repost correcting the lean does look better, but I don't mind the original at all.

    Troy,

    For this image I feel correcting the lean is the way to go. Great looking graphic quality to the image.

    Thank you Roman and Dave for the repost. Roman, I do see more pop on yours.
    Thank you guys for the idea, I will do more tweaking and correct the distortion.

    I fixed the distortion and give a bit more contrast but decided to keep the crop. The reason is because of the low building on the right hand side. If I crop it half way through, then it would not complete the skyline of how I saw it.
    Thanks again guy.
