Your critique club moment ... Hi Joe
Nice shooting - really like the combinations of colour temperatures from the different types of lighting. My first reaction, especially given this is an 8 second exposure, is to wish you'd either had the patience to wait for no cars, or to wait for a moment with more - just those few light trails seems rather arbitrary to me.
As someone else has observed, there seems to have been some minor camera shake going on, just enough to blur everything very slightly, and just enough to distract from the image.
The composition is excellent though - the combination of shapes and colours and the positions of the lights work together wonderfully. The graininess, pleasantly un-excessive, really helps the urban quality of it too.
Obviously I don't know what else you tried, but had it been me I think I'd have had a go at a slightly shorter exposure, or perhaps I would have desaturated it all a little - it has the appearance of having had the colours brought out too much, causing some of the detail in some areas to disappear; or perhaps it's more processed than that - those rear-light trails are really too pink to be real.
Good shot, and 23rd is not a poor result. As I'm sure you'll find, the vast majority of winners here are very clean, very technical shots - with this kind of mood you'll need an exceptional capture to score much higher.

| Very nice colors and I think the compostion is excellent....very interesting to look at. There is alot of noise, but hard to prevent in these night shots, and I'm wondering if you used a star filter...if you did, I think it's overdone here with all those lights. Good job on the night sky, as well, which is almost black. |

| Too bad you picked up some vibration from somewhere. A sharper image would have made it one of my favorites. |

| This could have gone for the speed challenge too. :) I like the lighting of this, it seems very crisp. |

| Pretty. Lots of nice curves and firections going on, I think you've used the shapes to frame it really nicely - well balanced in general. Super shot. |

| looks really nice, but the colours aren't real. I will give you just 3 for it. |

| Very nice lines. The tower looks like an invader from Mars (which isn't really relevant, just my observation). |

| I love how the warm and cool colours of the lights make the picture look out of this world! :) |
