Too much "high beam" and slightly off-level. I would have liked to see the same cloud formation show in the reflection as well. The pattern of your real/reflect image (eyes squinted) is awesome.

The horizon is a bit off the horizontal, but other than that, excellent photo

Prett cool, but there seems to be a little too much dead space. I would try cropping some ot the top and bottom to give it more of a panoramic feel.

Nice, I'd maybe prefer it to be a little less bright

this is just my opinion but i dont think the blue cast lights go well with the brownish sky. I feel the image should either be completely cold or completely warm in tone. otherwise is a pretty good long exposure night shot.

Gorgeous! Wonderful reflections, good exposure, clean image. Only thing I would change is the slightly tilted horizon.

Great reflection. Lights a little burned out.

a bit too much glare on the right side but otherwise a nice composition
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great shot! I can't put my finger on it, but I think there's one thing that kind of detracts from this shot. Might it be contrast? I don't know, but it seems that if you could have somehow made the shadows pop a little more, then it would have really improved the shot. I think that might be what is nagging at me. Like I said, though, this is a great shot!

Beautiful mirror. The right side is a little darker, and makes it looks like the picture is slanted down on that side. It's just the way the lighting is.

The skyline would be more enjoyable if it were level. Great reflections.

The hot street lights are a distraction in this photo.

I like the composition and the way you've captured the lights.

Looks amazing! Like crystal. I love it.

Very nice photo - good composition and nice tones in the sky. However, i feel it is a bit overexposed, especially the lights that are a bit blown... Perhaps reducing a bit the exposure time would have boosted this one. Maybe it could use a little more contrast too... I dont know, I'm not an expert in photo editing... Neverthless, its a very good one, so I'm giving it a 8.

Horizon looks tilted, colour of sky isn't particularly appealing. Great shot otherwise.

Beautiful glassy marina scene, with excellent focus. All the best to you.

Would have conveyed late at night better if the lighting was more understated.

Crisp & clear. Nice

This is nice...Those bright lights are a little distracting, maybe a little too long of an exposure.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

P r e t t y!! 9 Will be interested to see your camera settings. Good work.

Love the photo - the bright white lights are a little distracting... maybe the whole photo needs to be a bit darker, well done
  Photographer found comment helpful.

the lights running across the middle of the picture are too bright
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 01:57:30 AM
Wow! the white is overpowering. Rest is great! 9

I like the reflection, but I think you are about a stop to 1.5 stops overexposed. There isn't any detail in the white lights or star structure producted by the lens.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

i like the idea and concept of this picture but i would have followed the rudle of thirds when it comes to the horizon and i think that the light sources are way too overexposed.

gotta love the light pollution for the nice orange glow
