Comment by Neil:
Very nice. You might consider cropping the left; the bright light on the pillow distracts the eye. (Or you could burn in, but the crop looks good to me when I cover part of the shot.)

Pretty, would like to see a different crop, not so centered and maybe not so much dead space at the top.

It still has a border, he, he :)))) I love the sky in this shot. I like "more lights turned on" in the buildings, but the glowing oversharpening edges around the buildings are a big turnoff (for me). I wish the broken up contrails (sky left, I think that's what they are) and the tall pole at the right weren't there.

Also, the city part of the picture has a "brownish" quality to it (at least on one of my screens, on the laptop the brownish turns quite dark) that gives it a feel that, IMO, doesn't do justice to the beautiful sky and all the beautiful lights and light trails. I love all the different colours in the windows and the front lights/rear lights.

This is a good blue hour shot, but there is nothing really special about it to make it stand out over others like it (and I hope you take this as constructive, I mean it that way - I often "fall in love" with my own shots and don't notice that they really are not that special).
