Russian Hill Sunset

Taken from our room at the Fairmont. Please critique.

The dusky city is a great contrast and compliment to the luminous sky. Well done. Regards, Doug.

It's really neat when I get a comment that addresses exactly what I was trying to achieve.

Great silhouette of the city and the mountains. I also like the color of the sky. Nicely done.

Interesting that out of 8 ratings so far, 3 of them are from people who have complaints about chronically low ratings without comments attached to their portfolios. Is there something about this photo that attracts this kind of person?

Awesome sky, sound composition, and great detail in shadow area. Well done.

LOL! Ken, I've complained about low ratings without comments in the past so add me to that list. LOL. AND I like this picture. The sky is quite pretty. Very nice setting. The hills and the city have a wonderful appearance to them. Well done.

WOW!

Great shot. Have no answer about the low raters who leave no explanation. It's like getting a virus. You can leave it, or delete and resubmit later in the day. That seems to help. Regards, Howard

lovely sky, i love the colors, for the foreground i would have loved to see something interesting or maybe a good silhouette? maybe you should try it some time. the sky is beautiful, sad we dont have skies like this here :( cheers!

Wonderful sky, painted hills, rustic village, must be San Francisco! Nice capture Ken!! And who knows what draws the commentless raters. They are what they are.

Ken - I like the sky, but I like the blueness of the cityscape even more! The city looks awfully sleepy for the time of the day. Cheers! - Swati

fffaaaaaaantastic, Ken! Wow!

 

BTW, got your email...you've already rated/commented on my latest post, so, I'm not going to ask for your critique :-) I'll email you something.

Nicely done. The sky is impressive! The blue matte is a touch light for me, it distract a little.

Great Sky, excellent placement for the building! Very nice photo.

Nice contrast between the sky and city. Pnina

I find it very nice, but very creative. The sky is wonderful, the proportions are good but I would like to something unexpected.

 

Still nice work!

 

Cheers

After 4 days without images on PN, finally got the images back. This is wonderful. The overall image is wonderful. I love the sky and the the buildings are a perfect compliment, with their dusky tones. They add but don't detract from that gorgeous sky. Nice eye for detail. Wouldn't change a thing! Except the frame, just my personal framing preferrence.

Ken, I have never seen such a nice sky with so much colour combinations. Good to make the buildigs blue/grey that makes it even more powerfull.

Thanks for the compliment.

This is wonderful. The muted tones in the foreground complement the rich tones in the sky. Excellent composition. Very nice image.
