AHA - now the last one of that lot is my favourite - that long reflection in the water is really something

for me is no1, i like the perspective of the boat and lamps.

no 4 for maybe you crop the sky or loose the reflection and focus more on the boat and lamp

I'll have a go at cropping no 4, but I wanted reflection and that sky there. I'm open to experimenting

Is this better?

i dont think that doesnt work, i think the sky is too much
hmm maybe if you want to keep the reflection you lose some of the sky.
thats just my suggestion.

i think you shouldnt try to make the picture better for someone else...hehehe try something that you think make the picture better

im still learning here too

so lets here what other have to say..

The last one I like, if you crop no. 4 to just above the lamp (sky bit) leave the water alone, but clone out the bottom left hand corner.

I tried this it looks better, but at work so cannot post for you to look at.

Give it a try and see what you think.

Regards

PS> wher in Finnland is it, I visit Lahti, and have been to Helsinki.

I took these in a place called Vammala, it's about 40km away from Tampere

I'm afraid to say the series doesn't work for me I think the shots are too underexposed, which is perhaps understandable if these were hand-held.

I also would have liked them to be much sharper, again - very difficult if hand held; so I must say a valiant effort if you were tripod-less.

Personally I would have gone with a higher ISO, to perhaps overcome the exposure/sharpness.

I do like the compositions of 1, 3 and 4 though.
