The View From Barsha Heights

The exposure is pretty cool though I would have
chosen a longer SS as the car lights trails are too
clearly identifiable and short.

Love this view and full of interest. Agree with @Kodiak Qc though that trails could have been longer. I see you shot this at about 3 second shutter speed so I guess you were on a tripod but you've used quite ISO so presumably could have gone down to base ISO and got a lovely long shutter speed with loads of light trailing. I think it would have worked wonders here.

Also, a lot of softness at the bottom of the image that isn't seen on the rest of the image. What's going on there?

Potentially good, but what I assume is tilt-shift effect spoils the image.

Thanks for the comments. I've got some longer exposure ones without the tilt, I might add one.

I'm interested to know why you used it - I've never seen an image with TS that made me think it improved things, and while the novelty of sometimes making a scene look like it has been miniaturised can make an ordinary picture have some interest, that's not applicable here where the scene should have been strong on its own.

Here's a quick one slightly different view, no tilt, longer exposure. Needs a bit of work but haven't got the time at the mo. But in principle better?

Yes

Enormously better.
