SW: The River Spree with the TV Tower in Berlin (Germany)

I like the sky's top portion but the image is overprocessed creating halos around the buildings and trees against the sky.

 

Yes, the halos are too strong, I have to work on that.

 

I didn't want it to be a classic image. Overall, I wanted two things:

 

1. In general: To create a rather graphically austere, almost hard image.

2. Specifically: Since Berlin is neither beautiful nor charming - but very interesting - , to create a contradictory, dramatic image.

 

Best regards, Uli

The Fernsehturm?

 

I agree with Dieter about the halos. However, leaving that it's still overprocessed for my taste--too dark and too high in contrast. It looks unnatural, and much of the detail is gone because it's so dark. Also, it has two competing high-contrast focal points that compete to draw the eye: the building on the right and the bright spot in the sky.

 

But that's just my taste.

Regarding my general idea of the photo, please see my answer to Dieter Schaefer.

 

On the two focal points. My idea was that they should stand opposite each other and thus create a connection. Obviously, I didn't succeed very well.

 

Thanks for your comments.

 

All the best, Uli

Another tower in Berlin.

 

On the right is a digital clock, with the white blocks being,

from the top down, 5 hours and 1 hours, and the yellow

blocks 5 minutes and one minutes, each.

 

As above, High Speed Ektachrome in the E4 days.

I'm just trying my hand at, well, rather experimental SW images.

 

Best regards, Uli

I like the overall composition and the clouds. With some work, it could be a very good moonlit nighttime scene.
