| I like this cityscape a lot better than the other one I commented on. The wide ratio works well here. I think it may be a tad bright so perhaps a higher f-stop (also would have yielded those cool stars from the lamps). Nicely done. |

| I lived in Western Australia for 25 years and love Perth, especially Kings Park..... I feel the over brightness let you down on this one, but gee you have brought back some special memories for me..... |

| Fantastic Shot. I cant do this one in Adelaide because we are 30 years behind and don't have freeways near our city. Great Capture. |

Greetings from the Critique Club
Oh, Perth! If I ever get back to Australia, that is very high on my 'list' along with the rest of Western Australia.
You've given us a good look at the present-day skyline of this beautiful city. As your other commenters have noted, this image is well composed but is a bit 'hot'.  Melethia has given you some excellent pointers on how to correct that, and I'll give you one more: Bracket your shots. On a night shot like this, you used a tripod. When it's all set up, it's a matter of a few tweaks of the camera settings to change the aperature/shutter speed. Then you can select the best exposure later on. Then, in RAW, you can change the exposure setting as well. Experiment! It's fun to play - with a copy of your original, of course.
:-))
I'll look forward to seeing more of your photography from this beautiful place. |

This is a beautiful view! I saw in the Under 5 thread that you mentioned it was a bit bright and you didn't know how to fix it. One way (the best way) is to underexpose to begin with. When shooting night shots, I've found you have to shoot at less than what the camera tells you. Here you shot at 15 seconds. In this same situation, try 10 seconds, maybe even 5.
In post processing, you can try reducing exposure, or using a duplicate layer with a blending mode set to multiply.
If none of this makes sense, send me a PM and I'll try to explain further. And congrats on a new personal best! |

| Well composed, some of the highlights are a little harsh. |
