About the Image(s)
This is a photo of water rides at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. I liked the repetition of the shiny swans as they await all the activity the following day will produce.
It was taken with a Canon Powershot G15 at 1/6 sec, f/2.5, ISO 1600 at 15 mm with a 6-30 mm lens.
Post-production consisted of cropping and adding clarity and vibrance in Lightroom.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

Nice symmetry. Spot on exposure. A busy image but the reetition keeps it interesting. Nice job.   Posted: 10/23/2018 22:18:00
An interesting image, it would have gotten my attention also.
The colors of the duplicated swans reflections in the water really bring this to life.   Posted: 10/24/2018 03:57:14

The colors and repetition work well. Its missing that crisp, pop to make the image really grab you.
I see you were at ISO 1600, have you tried working with removing some noise in lightroom in the luminance channel?   Posted: 10/25/2018 15:37:03

Matt, Thanks for the thoughts. Does Define2 work as well as Lightroom? Alec   Posted: 10/25/2018 15:41:40

I've never really used Define2 so I can't say for sure. Maybe try in both?   Posted: 10/26/2018 16:45:41
Nicely done, with the repetition of colors and forms and the water reflections, which really offset the swans.   Posted: 10/26/2018 16:28:25
