Mark Moskvitch, 3 months ago

Helen,

Well if they thought they were going to light up the city from across the river with a flash, I wan’t whatever flash their using, that’s some machine. :)

As always, a stunning image. Beautiful use of the available light and reflection, these shots are always worth the trouble…..

I especially like the way the image is framed by the grass in the foreground and the bridge to the left, has the visual effect of almost holding out the image of the city to the viewer.

Excellent work !!

Helene Kippert, 3 months ago

This is gorgeous Helen -great work

Helen Bascom KMA in reply to Mark Moskvitch’s comment, 3 months ago

LOL Poor fellow. I was very polite to him, because I could tell he was just starting out.

I was not sure about the grass and the bridge at first. But I left it in because it gives the image a sense of perspective, of the expansiveness of the river front.

Barssel, 3 months ago

You did a fantastic job! I’m amazed at the calmness of the river, it’s usually choppy and moving quite quickly. I’ve been trying to get over there for a couple of weeks now but yard work has been keeping me home.

mikeloughlin, 3 months ago
