Long Exposure (1 year ago)

I agree that the horizon isn't level (the lamp posts lean to the left a little)
Personally, I don't mind the black space at all, I like the use of perspective, I'm not keen on how the first lamp post is cropped off at the top.

It's not really clear what the person is doing here, and I'd echo the previous two comments. Apart from the slight blur on the water and the figure it's hard to tell that this is a long exposure. Perhaps you should have exposed for longer to bring out a little more detail on the water?

I like how the figure is in silhouette from the glow on the water. It makes him stand out nicely.
SeekingFocus (Jason Langley) added a critique 1 year ago:
I would have liked a bit longer exposure here to bring out a bit more detail. As it is, it's a bit dark. Also, I don't like that bush in the foreground, perhaps a different angle with that omitted would work better.

This shot doesn't really do it for me, but I think it has potential. I think it needs more exposure to bring out more detail and add more colour to the scene. I'm not sure about the street light chopped off at the top too, but that aside the image certainly has potential - i'd maybe have a bit of a play with colour balance and see if you can introduce some varied tones instead of the standard tungsten effect.

I'm with Neil, rotate slightly to the right.
Dark right-side is fine.

Thanks everyone for all the great critiques and suggestions.
This was taken kind of on the fly. I pulled up and saw this guy fishing and I positioned myself in the one place where I could silhouette him against the reflections on the water. The wind was blowing that bush around and there was a light chop in the bay. The fisherman was moving a lot, so I limited my exposures to 10 seconds and I only got to take a couple before he quit for the night. This was the best of the bunch.
Thanks for pointing out the cut off light post. I never really looked up to notice that until a few of you mentioned it. I may try to recreate this another night, since there are often people fishing in this area. I'll take your pointers to heart if I do try it again.

great catch, this shot sounds like it was a pain.
if your bored one night try playing with the crop to level the horizon and maybe recreating the top of the closest lamp post from the next fully shown lamp post would be a feat.
this is a cool shot and i think with these two minor changes it would really improve the composition. :)

Sorry for my English.
Nice shot, but it has some imperfections:
1) А little sloping horizon.
2) An empty right half of frame.
Nevertheless I realy enjoy of lights on this shot.
