Which one in your opinion is more pleasing?

They were tweaked differently in PP.

C+C is also welcomed

I like the first one more but I really do not like the tilted horizon!

Then you would probably like this one:

The sun hadn't come up yet though.

edit:

here's another one:

Yeah I like that one a lot better

Nice exposures on the second set, how long was the shutter held open for these?

Yeah I like that one a lot better

i agree...

I agree I like the level ones better. although of the first two I like #1 because it looks like you intentionally shot crooked. #2 looks like it could have been a mistake.

HDR's

First one: 2 minutes, 1 minute, and 30 seconds

Seconds one: 30 seconds, 15 seconds, and 8 seconds

Thanks! I definitely understand how 2 could look like a mistake. I'll be careful with that next time.

2 and 4 are awesome. love all the different colors. i also like this as it makes it seem like a really small world. the horizon is distorted to a point where it looks like you shot the end of the world haha. maybe its only me that sees this, but I enjoy it.

wow... where is this? These are beautiful.

Don't let people diss you on the tilt. Tilts can be interesting. I think the second composition works better. I think the tilt in the first may be just a hair too much, but that was just my reaction to it.

Your other one is a fine cityline shot, but not as interesting as the tilted one, IMO.

Thanks I appreciate it.

These were taken in the Brickell area of Miami (just south of downtown Miami) between 5:00am and 7:00am. The lights you see over on the other side of the water is actually the Port of Miami.

Thanks! I didn't want just another cityscape shot as I've seen tons and tons on the internet. I used some angles to get a unique perspective
