Powerful sunrise!
Roman Voeikov, yes, I wanted to make it more expressive, but I still doubt I went overboard with the saturation and colors.

You went too far. And your lanterns started blazing like torches, you didn't manage the exposure well.

Irinny, no. The lanterns on our embankment just glow orange, not white (they were installed like that a couple of years ago, apparently for aesthetics).

There's too much. The sunrise turned out well, but the photo itself isn't very sharp, and the bottom is very dark, with a lot of noise. I think it was taken with a phone?

Roman Voeikov, you're crazy. I understand that the processing may not be that great. But why so fancy... This was shot on a D90, and it was stitched together from four vertical frames. The bottom is dark because it's morning, and it was shot for the sky, not the bottom. I don't see where you see noise, but reducing a 20 megabyte photo to 200 kilobytes will probably reduce the quality.

Well, that was just my opinion, don't be offended. I'm far from an expert, of course, but the shot is well-composed and more attention was paid to the gorgeous sky—that's rare. But I disagree about the quality.

Roman Voeikov, well, maybe. Now I've looked at it with fresh eyes and... maybe there really is some loss in the shadows, but I seem to be keeping an eye on the histogram.
