HighRise by the River

[AndrewMcD]

The brilliant sunlight reflecting off the building and in the river initially caught my eye. I also like the resulting geometry of the foreground wall, the bridge, and the reflection in the water. Comments and criticism solicited as always, particularly with regard to composition on this one.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hey Andrew, the light works… you were right. The grass in the foreground and
its oblique line is fitting well too. Great colours and rendition.

I thing you still have a keystone issue here…

Kodiak -- I used the Lightroom5 LensCorrections and don't seem to be able to improve on the keystone issue. I felt there was something tugging on my eye but can't seem to resolve it.

Nicely done, composition and lighting work well together.

Nice work Andrew! I like the tones and colors in this image quite a bit.

The keystone issue might be difficult to resolve (the top of the the large building is a bit wider than the bottom but is beyond my PP skills to correct).

Due to its size I might consider cloning out the moon in the shot. But, wouldn't it be great if you could get this image as the moon rises over the bridge?

Nice image, Andrew!

In Lightroom's View menu, click Loupe Overlay and then click Grid. Displaying the grid over the image will make it easier to see the amount of adjustment to be made. Manually make the adjustment by opening the Lens Corrections panel and clicking Manual. Then move the Vertical slider. Adjusting it to +7 seems to do the trick.

By the way, the moon is so small that I would consider removing it. Doing so will make you feel even more powerful than moving the buildings.

Mike thanks so much for the Lightroom lesson! Just further proof of how valuable this site is. It is so easy to be overcome by the seeming complexity of resolving a problem that one misses the tools that are readily available.

I thought the moon was little more than a distraction in the image but I thought I would leave it in to see if it elicited comment. With god like powers vested by LR5 I have now smote the moon from the sky!

Great idea! I will revisit on the full moon and see if it is possible.
