Terrific lighting and subtle colors. My favorite pic of the contest.

Nice evening cityscape that conveys a concept of darkness well. Good clarity, composition and the horizon is level.

The image is slightly low contrast and you can give it a little more visual appeal by setting a true black point or by using selective color to make blacks just a little balcker. It will loose some detail but will have better contrast as a payoff.

You might consider color processing to bring out brighter and more eye catching color in the sky at the top of the frame.

Overall this is a nice image.

i took this photo into photoshop to try and work out what the big black angular thing in the foreground was - and even when i could see it clealy it just looked like a leftover wreck of some wood thing???Maybe i'm dumb? Was it a necessary part of the image? Why did you choose toinclude it?

The diagonals are leading me off to the left where there is nothing of real interest. Other than that I love the whole shot.

amazing colours. I know that sounds weird in a dark picture like this but I really like it.

nice. the color on the wood in the foreground is nice, if not oddly lit with light appearing to come from the left. i like it.
