I remember that strong distinct red glow in No3. I just stood still watching it glow like that; there was a crowd gathering around me at the tower. Parents, friends calling out for those who were still below to hurry up, get up here as fast as you can.

There's some distortion going on in No2 and No5, nice colours for the last.

Missed a slice, gah. Had wanted to border the pano with the two parallel tracks

Is there some way of making the edges of the silhouette more distinct? Added quite a fair bit of contrast already.

Is that movement in the trees? Seems a little blur to me, since its black you can probably oversharpen.

 

[Zichar]

Yup, just zoomed in, think it's movement, of which there's no cure ;p

b -setting :

#5 has a lot of potential, but the foreground composition needs work, i think moving right and finding a strong anchor element - i.e. a more isolated rock that stands out like the one at the bottom here, that'd be great.

No. 3 - Crimson air

Looks like the sun shadow likes to curve one side no matter sunrise or sunset at Upper Seletar area :bsmilie:

#3 Round and pink B-setting, just like I remembered it!

I like the mood of #5 too though more space could be great, it feels very tight at the moment

thanks for the kind comments nightmare. i am flattered. this was a HDR from 3 pics, but with no adjustment, except for horizon correction.

will definitely work harder with the anchoring concept, though i am still a bit blur about it. is any any example that i could refer to?

thanks anyway.

will keep that advice on space in mind. i was at 18mm already, and stretching the frame a bit.

maybe next time i will venture into the water. but you must get me the lifesaver in your No. 1 and chua must be a lookout for that ranger.

ha ha...

thanks anyway!

somehow can't take my eyes off this jetty. seems like it was the only thing I shot that night, maybe fired off 100s. b-setting can vouched for this. think it was the same with him. haha..
c & c and any suggestions to improve this image are welcome. thanks in advance.
