Fall colors and Philadelphia skyline

SkyscraperSunset · Nov 8, 2004

I took this photo from my balcony at the peak of fall's color during the morning of November 3. Please let me know what you think.

Do you prefer this crop?

It's a shame I don't have a better zoom, because I'm losing resolution here, but look at the positioning of the birds:

Thanks for any suggestions!

I just wanted to say that the color... :shock: I mean this is the best autum color pic I have seen during this autum. :shock: So much beautiful color.

Did I already mention color... :lol:

I like the first one best of these. Love it.

1st one is my fav

The color is awesome! These would make excelent Velvia shots IMO. It's just too bad about the houses in the lower left, a tad distracting.

Amazing color! #1 & 2 are best for me. Nice work! :thumbsup:

I think I prefer the first over the second. It has more reds in it than the second one, and those really make the pic stand out. Great job!

Definitely the 1st one for me. The colours are phenomenal. Great work.

Love the colors (as does everyone else

)

The 1st one is also the one I'd prefer! It adheres to the rule of thirds and makes for a more eye pleasing photo! Very nice work! Thanks for sharing!

wow that looks great, i like the first one.

My only crit is it needs a slight rotation counter clock wise. Otherwise, I really dig the first one. The crops are nice and I can see why you did them but the first shot leaves me staring into the city (if you know what I mean). Great work.

I like the first one out of the bunch. the only thing I would of like to see is more detail in the middle of the frame. Looks like the light was hitting there more then the fore or back ground from what I can tell of the house though. Any way, it is a good picture.

Thanks, you're right! Sometimes you kind of see that it needs that, then you're not sure, then you see it... Needs 0.3 degrees or so.

I see what you mean. I bumped up the contrast a bit (8% maybe?) to make the colors stand out, and that bright area was my sacrifice. I think the photo's also having some .jpg compression trouble.

Thanks to you guys and everyone else for your critiques and compliments.
