This is a nice scenery, Kevin...it needs a bit of work though with the exposure...

Lovely colours Kelvin,my eyes keep going between the lights on the left and the boats on the right.Can you do something about the lights in PP so that they don't distract anymore.

[kespada51]

Here is an update with out the lights on the left. As for the exposure on the foreground, it simply creates too much artifacts to bring out any detail in that area.

Very nice shot.

If it were my shot, I might look at an agressive crop of the bottom of the image, I'm not sure if it really adds anything.

[Wavelength]

Second has more details and really a great image

[bnnrcn]

#2 is better,I would also try the crop Manfred suggests to see how it works

[kespada51]

Perhaps this angle is better...

I personally like the first image with the edited version more Kelvin.When I enlarge the last one you posted I find the composition a bit crowded with the ropes,poles,wooden pier,reflections and boats.

[Manfred M]

I like your latest version Kelvin.

Again, if it were my image, I would look at cropping at the right, just to see if (or if not) it improves things. I suspect it might not because the the long line of bright might be needed to balance the material on the left. I do like how the light is reflected from the sky and suspect this is what helps balance out the image.
