Re: Abandon
Hi Ajith,
A couple of things;
To effectively process an image with this much dynamic range (brightest to darkest parts light ratio), you are going to have to shoot RAW and post process - an in-camera jpg (even "fine") isn't going to be able to cope. The shadow side of the hulls are a bit too dark really.
A small thing, but the horizon isn't level, PP software can correct that, but again, with jpg original, some sharpness may go in the process.
Cheers,

Re: Abandon
Considering the conditions, Ajith, I think this has worked reasonably well.
I'm not quite sure if adding just a tiny bit more space to the top of the scene would help. To me, the 'skyline' seems a little 'cramped'. Alternatively, cropping to just remove the horizon might be worth trying.
The horizon is probably a little slanting but I think it is partially an optical effect.
