I agree, night shot at 1/20 and having such sharp focus is incredible, super work! I like the colors.

Handheld? And you got that kind of focus? I'm impressed. Great shot!

Ya know... for me, the touch of red down in the corner just kinda "balanced" the picture. I can tell from the many responses that most did not agree, but a few did.

Thanks for all your comments!

Great capture! I love how you've used the glow in the sky to contrast against the building.

Nice foreground glow on what appears to be a rock wall too.

Well done, keep up the great work!

Ilike the glow of the temple in front of the darkenning sky, but the dark outlines suggest you have oversharpened. I am also not sure why you include the large dark thing in the foreground. There is not enought detail for me to get a sense of wht it is and how it relates to your subject

Nice exposure and subject. Foreground distracting and looks better with the red stuff cropped out.

could have cropped it a litle differently... very cool to see how this place looks though... I hear they have funny underwear in there :)

Very cool shot. The lighted stone in the bottom left is just perfect imo.

I hesitate to offer a suggestion because I am still so inexperienced, but I personally would have liked it better if the brick thing at the bottom had been cropped out. The top part of the photo is beautiful!

I like this but think it could be cropped quite a bit on the bottom to emphasize the diagonal line of the wall and the jaggy building spires. The light on the bottom does not enhance the composition.

Lovely temple shot. I might've cropped a bit of the foreground structure.

Wonderful image, as a personal choice I would of probably cropped out from the bottom of it, because that part is not so inbteresting and it distracts the eye. But that's just my choice your image is wonderful.

The lights on the temple are really good and the angle of view gives it a "majestic" feeling. IMO, I would have cropped out the red light to the bottom left. It doesn't really add anything to the photo and draws your eyes from the main subject. Beautiful shot though.

Nice shot, forgorund works well.

a little more light on the right side of the foreground would have been nice

A tiny bit over-sharpened (evident on the towers on the left. Great colors (red looks super in the bottom left corner.)

oooo, I love the Salt Lake temple, it's a brilliant choice for photography, I hope there's an other night challenge around the holidays, so you can get it with all the lights. I wish that large structure wasn't in the way though, it's kind of obstructive.

great shot, maybe it could have been cropped tighter..(without the red at the bottom)..
