    Default Cityscape sunset



    Shot this 2 days ago. Those times weather are really great. Clear blue skies, dreamy clouds. So wanted to try a sunset shot of this place.

    This is about 10-15minutes before sunset. Im still learning, any advice would be greatly appreciated

    Thank you

    Hi all thanks for replying. Soft as in? The buildings? Does it still appear soft on my Flickr?

    I have a feeling it's because CS scales 1024 widest pictures to 1000 pixels widest.

    Looks fine to me large: All sizes | CBD, MBS, Singapore Flyer Sunset | Flickr - Photo Sharing! (You might consider uploading a much smaller image or disabling downloads though, that size can sell for stock)

    I've reposted the 800 px widest file of the second for you to compare.

    Hi there! Oh I thought by uploading to Flickr it already protects ur pictures from being downloaded. So it's advisable to upload a smaller size picture to Flickr instead of the full sized one? Sorry I don't know much about these too...

    It is best to upload the version at the size you want it presented at. Else when the image is resized by other things it won't be optimal, chances are. The benefit is also that you limit the largest size accessible. Even if I can't download, I still can printscreen...?

    i usually like to display in this size from flickr ( Medium 500 (500 x 333) ). find this is the best optimum for pleasing display.
