Dock of the bay

[ceeboy14]

Three exposure 32 bit HDR in CS6. Took advantage of all the car lights and used one exposure to that advantage.

Great work! At first, I thought it was a tad dark, but then I came to the conclusion that it had to be like that. That sky is gorgeous!

Bump!

Try a crop?

Literally fantastic

The cropping REALLY improves the image, at least for me...

The feeling of the old dock being more a part of the image is strengthened by the crop, and the more-panoramic feeling with less sky makes the dock's length seem,well, more like the subject of the shot with the sky greatly diminished. Removing just that small amount of dark water below also helped. Overall, the cropped version looks great.
