    India Gate At Night HDR

    Hi, going forward on my photography venture I stopped and clicked another shot. Can you please review it and let me know what exactly is missing for it to make it much better?

    It is an Image of India Gate, There are different light source with different white balance and different angles (Few in the monument itself) to light up India Gate at night (White, Yellow, Orange, Light Green color light).

    It is an HDR with EV Range : -5 -3 -1 0 +2, blended manually in Photoshop.

    Thank You

    Nice shot Raj but to me it would look much better if it weren't tilted. Otherwise the HDR isn't overdone and looks good.

    I love the creative spirit but I would like to see more separation between the sky and the lamp pole. To achieve that, it would probably be necessary to light the pole against such a black sky. That leads me to the idea that I would like the entire scene better if the sky was the rich blue color that appears immediately before or after the sky is black, depending on whether it is morning or evening.

    Thanks a lot for your valuable review. Actually it was taken at night and thats than excellent idea about the sky, I will try to get the sky and the light by waiting for 1 more hour between the light shot and the sky to differentiate the pole and the sky (evening blue sky).

    Once again thanks for the suggestion. But, which one will you prefer. The tilted or the straight?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm on a learning stage right now and was just trying new things. I can be wrong with tilts.
