[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 166665, member: 9240"] 1. Is the left edge of the frame too dark? Yes - at least the half above water. For me the entire shadowed area above the water to the left of the red building is a little too dark, including the stones of the bridge/walkway. 2. Is the top right sky too bright? Not necessarily. It might look less bright if the things in #1 are lightened. 3. Should the sunlight reflection in the glass of the white building be reduced? Not for me. 4. Is there too much of the water in the foreground - should it be cropped? Your "Edit Images" is set to NO, so I will respect that and not post my crop, but I find that if you keep the same photo ratio and drag the crop from the bottom left corner until you have only a little water showing between the reflection of the white building it makes for a more pleasing photo as it also eliminates a lot of the dark areas discussed above. It does shoot any Rule of Thirds composition out the window, but I believe it does allow the rail on the right to lead into the frame a little better. [/QUOTE]
