Possibly your best yet Adam. I'm anxious to see exactly how you set this up and lit it. Conceptually brilliant. Execution pretty good. Keep hatching ideas like this.

Looks like it was handheld in low light, a prescription for soft and out of focus. The shot has potential though. If you know you're going to be shooting in situations like this, bring a tripod. If you don't have one and you still see a shot you must have, find something to brace yourself on, the top of a car, a trash can, a light pole, etc.

Adams St Bridge

There is nothing wrong with this shot at all: it's technically well done, focus is good, good sharpness. It's a night shot so lighting is below average and colors are a bit muted. Compositionally, I'd say it's a little flat. The point-of-view is not exceptionally interesting, the main subject is very centered. If you really wanted to focus on the central building, why not move in even more and get rid of that negative space (pavement/street) at the bottom? Or move back and find a more interesting composition, perhaps decentering the subject and showing a bit more of the bridge, or a passer-by, or something to add a little drama and action to an otherwise static scene?

I think the overall darkness of the picture and the distance of the subject work against each other here. If the pic had been a little lighter, you could have gotten away easier with the tiny person - the the challenge subject of Night Shot mitigated against lightening the pic. So I'd have probably gotten closer and emphasized the subject a bit more. Tough call. The deep blue and black tones are very nice.
