Well I guess what do you think of the shot first? Then is the key stoning distracting?

Yep, I'd pull the keystoning. And did that scene have magenta/blue lights shining on it? If it didn't I'd do something about that as well.

No it had orange street lamps that made the scene completely orange. Must have over corrected. How's this?

Mike; the shot is a good composition, but I think the editing is over-worked.

And yes, if you can correct the key-stoning you should do it.

It's in Dana Point Harbor, CA.

Yeah I had to really mess with it to get the orange tint out from the HPS street lights. I will work on it to get it more natural looking. Here is an example of what they looked like before post-

It's the lens distortion when pointing (usually a wide angle lens) your lens up. It leans everything to a a central point in the middle. Here is a very noticeable keystoning-

 

[Rick58]

Got it thanks. I just always called it vertical distortion. Thanks for the info

No along the cliff side. Maybe this helps I flipped the camera around for 1 shot. Daytime waterfall-

That day-time shot is really interesting! I had no idea that was there.

I was going to guess that it was taken at something like a miniature golf course.

Yeah it only flows after a good rain and only flows hard for about a half hour. Just street run off.
