Perhaps the image would look better if you adjusted it to make the trees a bit more visible - not absolutely certain on that one, though.

Also, I think the lens was a little unsharp for so having so many fine details (well, fine at this distance) in the shot. At some point, of course you can't avoid having some features that are lost in blur and by just being too small, but here, almost everywhere I look I see just something that is a tad too soft, except for the windows closer to you.

The composition isn't terrible, but I would have tried to focus either on the buildings on the left (as in this crop >>2967326) - maybe even on the center building and the reflection in its windows - or on the bridge. There are too many competing subjects, I think.

Also, it's a minor thing in this photo, but in the future try not to cut stuff off the way the tip of the top left spire is. You want to put at least a little bit of space above the top of details like that, or cut them off further down.

Also, post moar photos. It's easier to see trends of bad or good habits with multiple images. And here on /p/, it's considered a good habit to resize your images so they're either 1MB at most or 1000 pixels on the longest side.

Get a tripod, set your ISO to 100 and user a slower shutter speed. Boom!

1.the building on the left should be kinda fully shown in the graph and the left side is a little crowded,which means you may need a wider lens.(asp-c sucks lol)
2.the water seems ugly,get a polarizing
3.underexposure
4.longer exposure time can make the reflection in the water clearer
5.image seems a little tilted
6.stop using auto mode you dumb fucking ass

> which means you may need a wider lens.(asp-c sucks lol)
Beh, get a Samyang 12mm f/2 and it doesn't really suck all that much.

It'd *easily* address this problem anyhow.

> underexposure
Should be within the tolerance of the camera. I am almost certain that he could process the RAWs much brighter no problem, with colors looking still just fine and all that.

> stop using auto mode you dumb fucking ass
The camera didn't really fuck anything up - he might have.

Don't see the problem with him using aperture priority mode.

Get closer and explore the subject more. Find the viewpoints that are not obvious just from walking past. Show us your subject in a new and unexpected way.

Jesus you sound miserable , also I come here for help to to be berated by some basement dweller who thinks hes a star photographer because he has a four thousand dollar camera that's only used to take pictures of a dirty keyboard.
