Description I'm not sure how I feel about this picture.The editing was completely out of my comfort zone but I thought I'd give it a go

really really mixed feelings on this piece.i wanted to try something different but i'm not sure if i like it.

i'd love any critiques or opinions people have to offer!

I think the colors and composition are interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about it either. I wish it would have been a sunny day! Overall though I like the perspective! Keep playing with those editing tools!

I think i'd like the picture more without editing
the light on the left side of the bridge and the sky are a bit disturbing for me :/
but well, thats just my opinion

I think you over-used the photo editing effects a bit to much. The graphical artifacts on the clouds in the upper right don't look very nice. I think you just wanted to improve the colors, but please be careful with these techniques or you pictures won't look better than before

That's also my opinion. I like the photo but the clouds don't look nice. Anyway, don't stop experimenting with those tools. I started like that too and I'm trying to improve myself everytime.

I like it expect the color near the first tower is off. It doesn't fade right. Other then that is looks like a good HDR image. I don't know if that is what you where going for but it is lovely.

DanielZrno [2011-05-04 11:09:53 +0000 UTC]

Good framing, but honestly - yes, the editing went way overboard.
You have halos around lines (HDR-like, probably due to excessive shadows/highlights manipulation?) and quite a lot of moire effect in the clouds (not sure how that came to be, maybe just the fault of the jpeg coupled with burned highlights recovery?)
Still, beside these more technical issues, the land and sky seems so bland and... dead. Where have the contrasts gone?

Sorry if that's too critic of me, but you did ask and well, it's still just my opinion. Might be wrong, I'm just tossing it out there for you to consider

hi thank you so much,i very much appreciated the critique.. and it definitely was way too much editing. it's my shortcut to trying to get an hdr-esque image and i personally think it ruined the photo unless someones looking for a good color trip.im hoping net time i can actually get a real hdr shot

hey cool ^^ you have to look pretty hard to see the faint outline around some of the Bridge, but it hardly takes away from it. Sweet

The dodge lines around the edge of the bridge make it reminiscent of HDR, but if you want it to look more natural you'll want to blur those out or make sure they don't leave the edge of the bridge. Gorgeous photo!

to much saturation, I have to tell you it's not a very special picture sorry pal. I don't want to bother you, I'm honest and maybe try to help a bit by telling what is wrong with this picture.
The angle seems to be used very often in pictures from Golden Gate. The next problem the bridge is one of the most photographed pictures.
Technically its a bit blurry and of course to much saturation in the picture.

well if you lived where i do, its very hard to get something different than this shot because theres only so many limited spots to go to get a shot of it from a nice view.
