No, I didn't manipulate the colours of this shot. :) Yes it is a touch soft, due to it being taken in Chengdu's ubiquitous winter mist. I lightened the shadows with the curves tool just a touch (So there is more detail there if you want to look.) but didn't want to destroy the strong contrasts between dark and light in the shot. This was directly across the road from my hotel, the Traffic Inn, which is smack in the central area of the city. All the same you can see there was a quality of stillness available from time to time. Pretty amazing for a city of over ten million. I loved it.
Enjoy.
Mikel.

Nice colors, but i don't understand why you would block out one of the main focal points of the image with the hanging branches. Would love to have seen those tall buildings in the middle with a clear view.

Hello Mikel....Low light photography can be challenging but it can also be very rewarding....This is a lovely city scene you have captured...The mist has helped to spread and soften the available light and the reflections on the still water are spot on....Well done...All the very best to you Mikel......Mick.

It's funny how different people see the same thing, but observe different parts with opposing concepts of what is visually appealing. I was thinking that I really like the flowing graceful look of the willow branches in silhouette against the amber glow of the evening scene of city and waterway. I'd much prefer to see the willow than the high rise buildings any day. Such a beautiful view of this city at night.

Beautiful post! I also love the willow branches. The amber glow gives a mysterious effect.
