Just to clarify things a bit, no flash was used in the making of this photograph. The light came from a street lamp which was situated about 10 feet behind me. I used a tripod and a 10 second exposure. I considered dodging some highlights in the sky to emphasise the lavendar glow above the city and bring out the stars a bit more but in the end I decided against too much manipulation. This was evidently a mistake as what I felt was the focal point of this shot, the contrast of the starry, purple sky against the autumnal colors of the grass was just not emphasized strongly enough for the casual viewer.
I will likely edit this photograph to emphasize the drama I see in it. After looking at it so many times, I feel it could use some judicial cropping at the right to eliminate some of the weedier looking grass. |

| *CC* a nice enough shot, though the main point of focus seems to be a small patch of grass at the front of the picture. Perhaps not using the flash and left a long exposure you may have created a great night shot, but the focus point just draws the eyes to that peice of grass, which is highlighted by the flash. |

| The lighting and focus draws my attention to some weeds in the lower left of the photo. I dont know if this was your intended point of interest or not. |

| I don't know if this is a flash or not, but the bright foreground is distracting. I would have preferred a long exposure |

| No real subject here IMO. The grass on the left could have been interesting if the shot were set up differently. Nice colors there. |

| IIt defintiely looks like a chily evening, but I think the photo needs a centre of interest to give it that something extra..... |

| Good silhouette effect. Unfortunately there seems to be no main subject to your photo - no point of interest. The grass in the foreground is interesting, but not interesting enough to hold my attention for very long. Keep practising. You've made a good start here. |

| I like the purple glow of the lights behind the trees/houses, and I like the kind of silhouette look of the trees and buildings. The lighted foreground really hurts this shot for me, completely taking away from the top part of the photo. It's almost like two different shots merged together. |

| For me there is no really strong point of interest for the eyes to settle on. The lake is a bit dark to make a strong subject as well as the far shore. I do like the sky and the colors of the shot. |
