Thanks everyone for comments, all of it is right. And yes, water looks a little bit tilted,but I had no choice in this case. It was a choice between tilting bridge or water and horizon. And, of course, I picked up water. Regarding colors - all colors absolutely natural, We had storm coming up that night,so colors different because of the wind and little rain.
A lovely placid exposure...I admittedly tend to have a bias toward tighter crops and in this shot I would only wish that the last left inch were cropped off to give the bridgework a bolder spanning feel/look..leaving it in there weakens the overall impact for myself....but ther than that what a great shot! :)
returning for comments
A very cool image but water has lost its fluidity and the eyes tries hard to find the natural equilibrium. Yet, the image's colors are great.
Oh no. You used the word sunset. I hope you are not getting bashed too drastically for that. The composition is a bit off because the water looks tilted and the treeline looks tilted in the other direction. Not real sure what is going on there? Also, the water seems a bit too green in relation to the color of the sky. Other than those distractions, pretty nice.
Title: 3 -- Spelled Wrong... VERRAZANO with 2 "R"s
Exposure: 7 -- Looks like a true representation of lighting conditions
Composition: 4 -- Horizon slanted. And the crop should have been tighter. Too much space.
Focus: 4 -- Seems a little soft.
