Wonderful shot and treatment! The motion blur delivers that chaotic/busy life that characterizes a city. And the people in focus look lost in that chaos :) Even the high ISO noise is very appropriate as noise in the city life that's depicted. My top3 in this challenge.

Wow! Is this shot with the wrong white balance? Or is the city really this cool and futuristic? :) Very "Metropolis"!

One immediately noticeable thing is that the horizon is tilted - all the buildings appear leaning to the right. Also, the overexposed part near the center-left is dominating the picture and is distracting.

Nice! An unusual perspective I don't normally see.
I wish the Opera House was brought out a bit more in post processing somehow. Right now, the bridge is dominating the downtown and the Opera House is kind of lost - making the bridge the only subject, and as the only subject, the bridge is badly placed in the picture with no breathing room.

Emerald City Skyline

What? No Space needle? :)
A nice shot by itself, but having a distinguished landmark helps I think. Also, if the foreground had a little more light, it would've been awesome to see all those sailboats I think - a unique foreground in the challenge.

Nice to have a foreground unlike most skyline shots in the challenge. However, in this case, the foreground is completely dominating the skyline with such brilliant green color, and is becoming the subject itself. Between the two, I rather like the nice downtown here to be the main subject. Maybe tone down the saturation a good bit for the foreground? Making the green muted might help the picture more.

Aha! "Well after the Sun goes down" can also mean "Just before the Sun comes up"! Creative thinking :) Hope folks won't vote you down for it and still consider this as a nightscape.

The pic itself is nice and love the walkway curve in the foreground leading up to the building. I wish there was a little more separation between the foreground building and the background skyline. Right now it's a bit unsatisfying to see the lightless roof of the building mask out a nicely lit downtown.

Lovely colors.
Very surprising that the colors in the reflections don't match at all with the colors on the buildings!!

Also, the picture by itself is fantastic, but the border completely ruins it. Originally, the water line was at 1/3 height in the picture - which is awesome. However, with the addition of this border, the waterline is closer to center than the 1/3 line, and thus the pic loses it's balance.

Wonderful title to a crisp picture. Very nicely captured. Love all the blue/purple/green hues on the buildings in complete contrast to the roads. Nicely balanced as well. Very well done.

That's an interesting building alright! Interesting patterns within the building - wish I could see this full size! And a nice reflection to boot! Interesting that I see a lot more blue windows in the reflection compared to the original. Very nice!

Just so you know, I shot this with a broken cam. And that's LED on the black building, not halo. Ok?

Lol! Very creative title for the picture :D
For a broken camera, the picture is super crisp. I now see your concern about people thinking it's a halo. Beautiful colors on this and lots of detail. The water is more interesting though - the left side is showing signs of long exposure smoothening and the right side isn't. I'm guessing this shot is done at less than 5 seconds of exposure?
The white/black border is a bit too bold, and the picture might've presented itself fine without it.
