Your Photo: Our Critique
Andrew Rein submitted this image taken with a Nikon D90, with an exposure of 1/200sec at f/6.3, ISO 200. The unique sky is a benefit of using a Cokin 2-Stop Tobacco Filter, rendering the sky various shades of orange while leaving the bottom portion untouched. The filter takes an ordinary scene and makes it unique. There is a nice visual triangle between the buildings and the trees. This image definitely catches your attention. Honestly the sky catches me a little off guard but I appreciate the uniqueness and that Andrew went for a different look.
