Darling harbour pic, after some C&C

[Nogshale]

Hi all I took this photo a while ago and i am just after some C&C. Im new but that doesnt mean you have to be gentle.

Thanks

Quite a nice image. Well done. The fountain is well composed and the exposure is excellent for the type of image.

But here's a couple of ideas for next time.

Try a wider aperture to blur some of the background as it is very busy with a lot of detail behind that is a bit distracting to me. The focus of the image is the fountain so that should be the highlighted part of the image. Background de-focus will give that. It wouldn't need a lot, but could do with some...maybe.... i guess it's all a matter of preference the more i think about it.

The half-a-chair on the right side would look better not in the image as it seems to cause a loss of balance to the walkway. Maybe all the chair or not at all would be better, but not half of it.

I do like it though.

Yeah it is pretty busy.

Point taken, thanks for your comments

Hi Justin,
I like this shot a lot, lots to look at. I personally don't think it's too busy.

I don't think its too busy either, I like the symmetry of the other objects in the scene as well, like the row of palms and the lights. I love the variety of colours in the picture too. No complaints from me.

This is the best take on this fountain I've seen (including a number of my own failed attempts). I like both the lighting and the composition, but like Steve would have preferred a slightly shallower DOF (bloody hard in a long exposure though )

Thanks for your comments guys
