I love the color in ussagus's pictures! And I totally dig Gozilla's park and city layout. Awesome!

Nice shot there, Godzillaman!
That's a great city there and two nice shots of it, ussagus!

Some shots of my new city presented in my MD; European downtown it is!


The church from upclose with plaza in front of it and the avenue tunneling below..


The plaza with terraces that is on the edge of the city-park where people can relax walking and stuff


An overview of the park, that's jammed between the church and the bridge over the river "Rhine"


The river "Aare", with on the left bank; France. And right bank; German


The newly build exhibition center. On the left in this picture the old elevated rail-connection between "Hammbruck HBF" (German) and "Hammbourg SNCF" (France)


Hope you like..

This is by no means the biggest city I've ever made, but at the moment this is the densest portion of my current region's biggest city, at about 70,000 residents:
My days here are numbered. It's been great and I've had a lot of fun, but I've moved on to bigger and better things.

The white facade at the left looks excellent, others are a little bit too blurry. The avenue looks very good, maybe it could be very little sharper?
Blur filters can add much realism to sc4 pictures, but thy should be used in a very subtle way. My advice is similar to what you can read in professional Photoshop tutorials or books: Gaussian Blur gives best effects, sometimes it is good to use Gaussian Blur and then emphasize some edges (very subtle!) using Unsharp Mask, with the same radius in both filters. I don't know which graphic program do you use, but you can find Gaussian Blur in most of them (or in all of them). Unsharp Mask is a Photoshop tool, I don't know how is it called in other programs.

The lens flare is nice but it could be a bit less aggressive.

As for the picture itself - very nice composition, I like it!  :thumbsup:
I don't see anything to change, maybe there could be more people props and small details along sidewalks (Kelis' Hong Kong is a good example).

Edit: Sorry, I had only a little while to visit SC4D today and I didn't look at the thread title - I made an analyse like in "You Be the Critic" thread  :D
But maybe it will be useful for you?  :)

It's on Dmscopio's site. Just look around and you'll find it.;)
