Artist's Comments

The city of arts and science in Valencia, another version.
This is the one I like the best.

Canon Eos 10D, Zenitar 16mm f/2.8 fisheye.
Same as before, this is an HDR image.

Tripod, MLU and remote shutter were used here.

Let me know what do you think about this.

You're right, the sky is noisy. I still have to find a way around this issue, as many HDR pictures I've seen have noisy zones...

And btw, no offence at all my friend, we're here to learn from each other ;)

I forgot: the sky is not very detailed because of the long exposures used... the clouds moved a little ;)

Beautiful image and very nicely composed :thumbsup:

Since you asked for a advanced critique, I will share a couple of observations/opinion.

There are several spots in the sky, which suggest that your senor is dirty. I use the Healing Brush Tool in Photoshop to remove these, IMO it does a better job than the Clone Tool. There are some who believe using any Cloning Tool is a manipulation, but I don't agree when it comes to removing senor spots.

There is fringing along the domes and building where the structures and sky meet. This usually happens from over sharping, to much noise reduction, contrast masks and/or even the HDR process. I would use the Lasso Tool and the Clone Tool to remove it.

Of course none of this is necessary unless you wish to make larger prints =)

As for the 'noise' in the sky, the long exposure with moving clouds and then combined with the HDR process brought out some unwanted details, then maybe to much sharping, and you have an unusual or noisy looking sky =D

It still a beautiful image, but you did ask :handshake:

same as ernieelio so won't repeat.
I like the glassy feel and beautiful strong colors. Also the clearness.
Looks neat and the framing please me. Overall, great shot :thumbsup:
