I really like this photo. A couple of small suggestions though: the photo seems to be slightly off balance (to the horozontal), and maybe a levels/curves adjustment would have reduced some of the "haze" effect. Great choice of subject and it certainly depicts a "night on the town". High marks. Good luck.

A great scene - don't cut important structures off, though. And the fountain is just a bit overexposed and shows up as a big white blob. 8

Good focus and congratulations on selecting the right settings to get the picture. I tried the same shot in Brussels and never got it.

Good capture, despite the faint crane in the background, lens artifacts and some of the details (spire) lost to darkness. The horizon line also seems a little too pitched to be natural (?).

I would have liked to see the left side tower

Wonderful festive mood here. You've exposed really well and I like the wide angle composition giving a nice broad view. The only improvement I would have made would be to level out the image...it appears to be slanting right. Very well done, anyway.

Yep, this is pretty grand. Shame you had to cut off the top of the tower.

Not fair! You live (or vacation) somewhere like this! Great detail, and colors and lighting! Question - Was your lens clean? There are 3 little spots on this photo almost dead center right above the buildings. Was it your lens?

Fantastic scene ... I love looking at all the different types of people. Clearly the architecture is the most striking feature, and it's beautifully lit.Slightly distracting light on the flowers to the left, but other than that I love it. 7.

Great shot. I love the detail in the buildings and the exposure is really good. Too bad you had to cut off the top of the building on the left, but..

I like this shot, the lighting on the buildings and the buildings themselves, all the people mingling...just one little nitpik: the top of the building on the right is cut off at the top...still a nice shot...

Backed up to the wall, eh? Europe without a wide angle lens is a killer. I'd have opted for more of the street actiion since the top of the tower was out. Looks like you got a decent shutter speed and froze everyone nicley despite the dark.

Great, but i feel like theres too much sky in the photo. In most cases, the sky should only take up 1/3 of the photo, other than that i like it, 5

This is my top pick of this challenge, I love how you have captured a beautiful setting with bustling nightlife. I think there are a few too many lens flares, or what appears to be flares, but beyond that exceptional. The longer exposure really works too it really makes the whoe pic come to life. 9.
