Steve, for some reason the buildings still appear slighly out of focus. Not sure if that is in-part a result of the cropping or from not using a tripod. When you take these kinds of pictures, don't be afraid to be creative in ways that don't immediately strike you. For instance, try getting some near interest items in your photo to provide some balance. Consider focusing on one building (perhaps) or just a piece of architecture. For instance, on Boston Avenue, you could get a photo of the Atlas building and there is still an old "Atlas" holding the world. Look for times when the clouds make the sky interesting. And especially be atune to know what is your main point of interest in the photo. In this case, there is no main focus point. The eye tends to look at the entire scene rather than be drawn to a particular element within the photo. That's not always bad, but I'd say it's more common (and I believe more interesting) if you can actually have somethihg that is perhaps a primary objective of the photo and not just a scene. Look through some of the Cityscape photos on usefilm and you see what I'm talking about. Keep shooting! Regards, Dan
Nice photo, Steven. After you scan it, you may want to check angles. Note how the shot is tilted just slightly to the right. That can be easily corrected when you crop in Photoshop. Also, boosting contrast would help a little as well.
