Hi Zafra - looks perhaps a bit oversharp or something to me? You got a little twilight colour tho.

Hi,
I did not sharp the photo, but I adjusted the
"Clarity" feature in Raw and then in Photoshop
I adjusted tone, contrast and colour. Then, I
reduced the photo to its present dimensions
creating the effect of a sharper image.
Because there is so much light in the city streets
you get that that effect around the buildings and
I assuming is the light bouncing from the buildings
and streets being reflected upwards.
Thanks for the comment.

Perhaps you prefer this version?

Hi Zafra I prefer the second version as it does not look as busy in the busy well lit areas, did you just reduce the amount of the clarity slider? I am finding in lightroom the clarity slider will sometimes detract from rather than add to the image, depends on the image.

Fantastic image and I too prefer the more subtle second version. The clarity slider can be a bit harsh when pushed too far and that detracts from the first version,

Thank you all for the comments and suggestions.
Stubbsy, I agree with you and I also like the
second image better now.
