nice colors, but it looks a bit overexplosed. Most of the water has no detail, and the plants look washed out.

Welcome from the critique club!

Composition on this picture is okay. Moving to the left or right may have been a bit stronger.

Colors are fairly well saturated. A bit more saturation may have been nice but that's debatable.

Exposure is alright. I bit bright in places (which is actually a neat effect here) but also dark in the shadows (especially the trees). Hard lighting conditions to expose well for though. If possible I would have used a lower ISO.

There is some sensor dust in the image that could have been removed from the sky.

Focus is okay but its really hard to tell. The focus seems to have been on the water close to the photographer. Aside from the water, the other elements in the shot seem a touch soft.

The challenge: A fairly unique approach to the challenge. (Not a lot of water shots that I recall). A little different angle would have made this more notable I think.

Overall: Pretty good job especially consider the tough lighting conditions

The building seems to be tilting to the right. I think if you had waited until sunset or later the light would have been much more complimentary.

Could have been a very dramatic shot if the sun was coming up behind the building. Nice picture though.

Greetings from the Critique Club

What a find! And a great capture of this incredible night scene. Not easy to do, IMO, but you did it.

There's the nicely in-focus lantern in the 'sweet spot' and all the motion behind it. You've captured the frenetic motion very well in this image.

Our voters are a hurried bunch, and they probably saw all the pieces without looking for the comprehensive whole. In my opinion, they missed the boat, but you didn't.

Keep up the good work and to heck with the scoring.

the colors are too bright for the black background, but other then that, nice image.
