 Taken with not much time to spare in the rain in Edinburgh. I like the view but the basic editing is hard on trying to manage the sky and the foreground

a little cropping of the top sky would enhance the castle a bit. nice choice.

If there had been a few more breaks in the clouds I think this would have been a really good shot. It just seems like there is too much grey.

I'd like to see more details in the shadows; they could be lighter, with more contrast, and still keep the detail in the sky.

you've lost alot of your detail in the shadows...did you do a Shadows/Highlights...IMO it could have really helped the darkest areas in this and one last thing..USM

Cool scene. I really like it, and think I would like it even more if it were brighter (to see more detail).

A quiet and somber view. Nice detail in the buildings and a good flowing composition following along the diagonal. The sky isn't as dramatic as DPC likes to see skies, and while you perhaps could tease a bit more drama out of it in advanced editing, this is a solid presentation.
