Took these over last two days. the umgeni river flows into the Indian Ocean at Durban. dodgy strange place in the early hours of the morning. homeless people sleeping under the bridge and all these feral cats everywhere.

Lovely scene in #1 - there's something weird with the perspective in #2

I do like the colours in 2, having read your reply in Gallery wondering what the image looks like without the correction to the first lamp post?

[b.van_der_dylan]

thanks Mark and SL
lamp post have really gone out in this one. The original had the first lamp post leaning in same direction as others, did a select all then transform-skew in cs2. sorted out first one but not the rest. I'll go work on that one. thanks again

Lovely colours (although not very natural-looking - especially in #2 - but maybe that's the look you were going for).

First one has great FG interest, but needs a separate focal point, like a boat on the sea.

Second one, love the compo

thanks Charlotte. colours I agree , I think I'll try a few different wb settings next time .cheers Andrew

I like the first one but feel there is a little too much foreground and that is battling with the wonderful sky for your attention. I would try an alternative crop with the bottom cropped a little (still leaving the needed foreground) but not as much.

thanks Steve
I used free transform to lower fg which then stretched sky bigger
cheers

Others may disagree but I think that's much better now...

The important question though is what do you think?

[b.van_der_dylan]

much better, has a better balance now and the sky is worth looking at

cheers Andrew
