Well it looks like you found the West End overlook. I think your photo looks pretty good, I am still trying to get my perfect sunset shot, I want dramatic clouds over the city, the fountain going, and the Gateway Clipper boat rounding the point all at the same time. May have to chase that shot all summer.

thanks for the advice i will work on that since i still have the originals :)

I Like it. Only suggestion. Try to avoid splitting your horizon line. Divide your image into 3rd's. More sky or more reflection.

Looking closer I can see it was not from the overlook. I know the neighborhood you speak of and they are generally harmless as long as your heavily armed. You should have taken some of us up on our offer to guide you to the best sites. We could have served as security for you while you took your photos. Shooting cityscapes will often take you into unsecured locations and shooting at night compounds the problem. Where ever you go you should probably have a local guide and someone to watch your back while you fiddle with camera settings.

i would have loved to take u up on the offer but my husband travels with his job and i was lucky for him to give me a couple of hours to stop to begin with. he's not the most supportive when it comes to me doing pics. maybe one day i can come up without him lol

Now that I am chasing that perfect shot I am at the overlook 2 or 3days a week and my wife always goes with me and even carries the tripod, I cannot even conceive of having a non-supportive spouse. Maybe I am just spoiled.
