I think the building on the left is by far the most interesting -the rest detract..I like the tones and reflections in the shot.

Very pretty picture! Any night shot always gets an automatic advantage with me, and I think you did a great job on this one. Good luck.

Thank you for all your wonderful comments. I wasn't sure how this would do, and I know very little of Ansel Adams. I did some research at the start of the challenge to expose myself to more than the few pictures I had seen hanging on walls in my doctor's office, etc. So I was just going by what I quickly observed about him in a short amount of time. Personally, I like the way this photo came out, Ansel Adams style or not.

Nice exposure, but the compositon is a bit cluttered for me.

Hmmm....interesting to say the very least. Never tried it at night, but then I usually don't have my tripod with me. The white balance is about what I would get. Interesting how close your were to the BLue X building. Like the angle from there very much. Good luck!

What a beautifully presented scene of the 'ordinary'. It has that serene, tangible silence about it that I love when snow falls and dampens sound, while delivering an uplifting sense of abandonment of rules & regulations. Rare snow (as here in London) is one of those rare instant changes that society experiences which can so often change everything in a short space of time. I love it - and this could pass for an Adams due to it's good tonal range and excellent exposure. Good luck.
