Great attempt. I would reverse the clouds on the water. If you wanted the image to appear more realistic/natural, I would mess around with levels a bit as the lighting is throwing it off slightly othewise it has a surrealistic feel to it just as it is. I would also tilt it slightly CCW but thats just the way I like it. The three bridges create enough confusion witht the horizontal and the horozon is just slightly off but titling it would probably make it easier on the eye.
I have to agree with the others on the PS (perhaps dial it back a bit). Flats on the west side, Jacob's Field in the background, right? -Ed Hahn

Bit heavy on the PS Billy. For me it looks much too artificial, but then I'm a fan of using photoshop to enhance what you already have in a shot not alter it completely.
I am learning to us P.S., the original water was just boring, brown, and scummy looking....

Something about this picture really strikes me as strange, but I can't identify what it is. It may have something to do with the fact that it's hard to determine the proper scale. The "weeds" in the foreground seem to hint at something small, the horizontal row of things in the near side of the water being akin to parking lot barriers. However, a closer look reveals that the scale is really much larger. Take a look at the tree at lower right for example. That yellow thing near it first appeared to me to be a few inches across. Now, though, it appears to be more like a 55 gallon drum. The bridge is also obviously large and constructed for ships (barges?) to pass underneath.
Or maybe it's the cloned clouds in the water that are throwing me off. They're upside down. Or maybe I should say they're NOT upside down and should be. Studying the clouds (both in the water and the sky) I think this picture needs more work. There's quite a bit that needs to be cleaned up. I'd also try reversing the clouds on the water to see what that looks like. I'm curious, though, what was wrong with the original water? -- Victor
