Thanks for that mate.
 
Love both photos just a shame that #1 isn't a bit sharper (dof seems to be too shallow). Also I would try and straighten up the buildings (remove the distortion).
 
Love both of those

Thanks its not a lack of Dof as this was shot on a 12mm lens at f11 focused manually to maximise Dof but I think I softened the image in RAw processing. I have had a nother go.

Great shots - the first one is lovely and warm, well composed with a great sky. Night shot is ok, but a little tightly cropped for me with the spire cut off and fairly distracting lamp post, although I appreciate this was a grab shot whilst out. Really like the last one you have added with all its lines, may look even better in mono?

Thanks for that I will look at mono on the last shot.
 
Nice work alf! It's a shame that the last one has been tagged all over, especially as it's the palace of culture. I'd like to see it with the tagging gone, the cameras gone, the bin gone and a bit of light to the top, would look a lot more timeless that way!

Both IMHO great shots and good exposures. Really interesting to see Warsaw and not st all what I expected

Steve Warsaw is a nice place especially the old town. The old town is not old as it was flattened in WW2 and then rebuilt.

I know what you mean about the tags etc Jake but thats what the place is.

It's a nice idea but there's some distortiond going on.

Have you got more, it's a good thread and a not often if ever posted city?

Alf, I really like the first sky line picture, quite a lot of dynamic range doing on, a soft grad filter might have helped eek some more exposure on the bottom.

Thanks Steve and your right but when on holiday with SWMBO spending the extra much time on my togging is difficult.
