[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 241760, member: 9240"] I like it. Might be a little over-structured, particularly in the bright section of the sky. Use the negative control points to back out sections that get too hot in Silver Efex. I burned in the sky a bit and then used Viveza to back out structure throughout and I find it a little less jarring. I like the contrast of the white buildings to everything. You might try and make the lamppost pop a bit if you can too. Here's a quick tweak, but I can't do a lot with the sky already cooked. Did you use any of the colored filters? If not they might be able to get the scene to pop a bit more, but it's not too bad as is. I did what I could to pop the whites of the buildings. I also removed the tinting. The bluish hue didn't work for me. [ATTACH=CONFIG]65358._xfImport[/ATTACH] All that said, Don makes a point. I think there's not quite enough of the buildings to the right to say that it's about the contrast of the white to the sea and clouds, so it's just a nice scene with no real subject. [/QUOTE]
