Hi Marcelo. Beautiful subject, and I love the colors. It looks like you might not have your camera level, judging by the horizontal lines on the building at the bottom of the photo.

The horizon is level enough. The buildings at the bottom are not in line with one another, so it is unlikely as to their being any reference for the level at all. What I can see is a certain amount of keystoning as the verticals are not quite parallel, either.

Good.
I thought Istanbul was pretty but got to admit .. I can’t stand Bull !!

Pretty scene and tones, Marcelo. I recommend concentrating on ways of composing your landscapes. Based on this image and the others in your portfolio, the horizons tend to be in the center of the frames. In this scene, for example, I would have shot more foreground heavy with more buildings and used them to line the way to the horizon. Happy shooting man.

I agree with Robert. A landscape format with more city and less sky would work well. Also, the horizon is perfectly straight here. The gap in the land that leads out to sea may be tricking to eye.

Nice image overall, these are all just helpful hints. Keep up the good work and post more!
