Town Lake

Thank you!

Wow, looks impressive! Fg IMHO a little bit busy. Not sure, but may guess that you can try to split into two seperate parts,upper 1/3 and lower 2/3. The bridge with the silhouetts stands itself. The lower part with the reflections and the kayaker also may look interesting as a separate image. Did you try that? Nevertheless, I like it as is too.

I think both the cityscape (bridge & bystanders) and the growth (sorry dunno what these things are called) work well. Not sure what to make of the foreground. It has come out a bit too artificial. But good pic overall.

Very interesting opinions, thank you both, Vlad for the idea, would probably never come to my head and James for making me doubting about foreground, since the idea was just to capture those colorful reflections. I understand the image is too busy, but it is hard to chose what to crop.

Thanks again, very helpful!

Beautiful image. I sugest crop it to put the sun at the center of the shot.

Hi Galina,

This picture is full of drama, the busy foreground contrasting with the tranquil orange sunset holds the eye firmly. I too, find Vlad's idea of dividing the image into two a interesting one. I too would not have thought of that :)

Excelent composition and colors

Nice shot Galina .... !

Well known bridge.. :)

In spite of the interesting suggestion of the others, I can't find a better cropping than yours here. Trying out to crop something is to lose something of this finely balanced image too.

As for busy: a lot of things to look at, but not busy in my opinion, the silhouttes making simple what could have been busy.

Without the fuzzy reeds in the lower right corner, this was completely perfect for me.

Good stuff here! This is one of those shots that deserves to be blown up really large, and would have been great in large format. I agree that I can't find a better crop; I wonder if you have other shots from the same time, and whether there are any alternate framings that are broader. I debate a bit about the reeds in the bottom right, but ultimately think they add depth to the shot. And that boater on the right in the reeds is great.

Thanks to everyone for support and interesting analyses.

Sam: no more shots, sunset in this wild south is very fast action, while I looked for better place to take another shot, the sun with all colors was gone, as well as kayaker...

Galina, nice 3 " layers" image. looks like a story, nicely done. Pnina

I agree with Sam "This is one of those shots that deserves to be blown up really large, and would have been great in large format"

Wonderful!
