This is my original picture I am reworking for entry into my next photogaphic competition.,



This is what i have so far.



Critique?

I like it pretty much the way it is, perhaps a bit less foreground and some more sky, as I see it the foreground is a bit overbearing. Maybe try it with a cooling filter (in PS) rather than warmth unless you want it to look inviting. Is it nice and sharp on the bigger image?

Sorry to bring it a bit off-topic, but, I assume you are going to enter it without your signature at the bottom right?

Hey, Alcatraz right?

I like it!

Yes, the full size version is sharp, but shooting 20-30 shots of it assures some are!

The signature is there because the image is on my gallery site, for photo competition they are printed out 17*11 or 19*13 and are free from my Graffiti.

Yep, Alcatraz, the dome in the forground is the Palace of Fine Arts, one of San Francisco's most shot landmarks.

I did a few things to it. Your thoughts?

cooling filter 82
selective sharpening on alcatraz and the dome at 85 1 4 (lab sharpened)
duplicated layer and multiplied, then reduced opacity to 15% for added color.

I like Jerry's very much.
