every time i see a picture like this on DPC i hope it is a joke. There is nothing vivually appealing about major camera shake and over exposed streetlights. The angle is the only point of interest in this image.

It's not romance, and it's an "OK" shot. It conveys a cool feeling, but the poor "night-lighting" really hurts things. An altered white balanced might have bumped up the score on this.

Nice color, and I can guess that you were trying for an effect. But a shakey camera just won't cut it in DPC, something should be sharp. For available low light, I'd suggest a tripod or high ISO.

Ok, like the idea, stagering home drunk after a night on the pull, but not very romantic (IMO)

That brings back some memories, and given the title I can see why you might have gone for not having sharp focus, but as I'm sure many other people are saying, something probably should be a little clearer in focus. I also think having the camera lower to the ground and shooting angled up more migt have created a more powerful image.

Unfortunately there is nothing really in focus - too much camera shake for a night shot. In addition the image needs rotating to bring the horizon perpendicular to the sides.

i'm not sure i agree with hotpasta in that anyone could take this shot. i don't know how many shots you took, but it looks like you either got very lucky or spent some time chosing this one. that overpass and that headlight on the left adds alot of interest to the composition for me. the lighting is also quite well controlled. nice job

So soft and smooth, and lovely colours. It's just too blurry for me.

I like this photograph for it's abstract qualities. It sets it apart from the rest.
