About the Image(s)
I am not at all sure of the image. Just wanted to try something different. Was in Toronto in July and was shooting the Toronto skyline from one of the islands. It was approaching the end of the day and birds were returning home and decided to use a slow shutter speed as they whizzed past between the camera and the skyline. Not sure whether this intentional blur works or not. Shot on Nikon Z7 ii, focal length 67 mm, ISO 3200, F9, exposure 1/13. Would like feedback from you and the other members.

Hi Hoshedar - I think this photo is BRILLIANT! The pano etc is good, anyway, but the birds take it to another level. They look almost alien, or like nature not in sync with the modern city.... Great! Love it! Posted: 09/04/2023 03:49:42
Beautifully shot! As Judith mentioned, the birds give the photo an alien look. Posted: 09/09/2023 11:21:47
This building silhouetted city with its bright lights, sunset and its random placed colors is a stunning photo. I think I would make a few changes and that would have separation of each of the birds, removing the grouping of birds on the right, and remove any bird that may be chopped off in some way. I would crop both sides of photo where the buildings are indented in the horizon,1building on the left and 2 on the right.
That would put the red building away from the center and the bird separation would look more like a military invasion of aliens. Just my thoughts. I Like it. Posted: 09/11/2023 15:25:32

This is a very nice evening skyline image. I am not sure how I feel about the birds. I think if you had used a bit faster shutter speed, they would have looked more like birds and have been an addition to the skyline -- and you did not need the depth of field from f9 for this distant image. But from the comments above, they all like it, as an alien invasion image. It all depends on what you as the artist like. Posted: 09/12/2023 16:59:26
I would take more than one image. Try a fast shutter speed too to see what it looks like. The billboard ruins the image for me. The blue car becomes the center of interest. Darken it or remove it. Nice image. Certainly worth playing with! Posted: 09/24/2023 16:37:38
