1. in what area is critique to be sought?
Composition and post-processing
2. what one hopes to achieve with the piece of work?
A well composed photo with post-processing that looks natural
3. under what circumstance is the picture taken? (physical conditions/emotions)
Sunrise at Kallang Riverside Park. It was cloudy, so sunrise wasn't fantastic. This was shot during the dawn hours, slight drizzle just stopped and when some 'golden' rays peeked through the cloud cover
Exposure: 2s, F8, ISO100, effective focal length 24mm
PP: Crop, adjusted exposure and saturation
4. what the critique seeker personally thinks of the picture
Colours of the sky wasn't fantastic, so main aim is to get opinion from the gurus here regarding composition:
- Initially included more of the foreground 'breakwater' (the curvy looking thing) for a leading line, such that it extended to the bottom right of the frame. However there was a stick sticking out of the ground which initially I thought was ok, but after looking again on the screen looks distracting, so cropped it out in post-processing, so now the 'breakwater' starts from roughly 1/3 to the bottom right of the frame.
- Original composition was roughly 1/3 foreground with the 'breakwater', 1/3 middle-ground of reflections and 1/3 background of the buildings and sky. After cropping the horizon line now lies more in the middle
Post-processing wise I increased the contrast and saturation of the photo, hope it is not 'overcooked' by the experienced viewers here.
