    Vince...this shot is perfect....it's what I try for and never quite achieve.

    I love the way the colors play on the water....and just the perfect combination of light and dark.

    thanks for sharing.

    Photoshopped it!

    I did some enhancements to the pier shot. What do you guys think? Would you prefer the original or the enhanced?

    I think I like the subtlety of the original post.....and I do tend to work things in PS....but the original seems about perfect to me....It just sets the mood

    Both are very good ’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦. They each convey a different feeling for me

    The 1st ’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦.an aura of romance of a bygone era

    The 2nd ’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦.conveys a feeling of night life and city glitz

    Great shot!

    I prefer the original, but your enhancement is VERY nice.

    I like the original best. The interplay of the light reflections and the water make it a great shot.
