Nick Karagiaouroglou

{K:82677} 10/5/2007

The atmosphere and lighting/toning of this one are really one of a kind! A phenomenal presentation of a city! here we have everything - perspective, endelss DoF, great composition, and a geometry that enhances the size of the buildings but without making them look like dominating/supressing giants. They rather look the city that enjoys its own citizens!

Excellent work!

Nick

P.S.: How die you achieve that vignetting-like effect on the sky? Was it just shooting the image?
