 New tripod that I really wanted to try out, eventually got a shot that I liked. Tried using mirror lock up as well, along with the self timer. Not sure I really wanted to stop in the car park, there were a couple too many late night rendezvous taking place!

Hope the brightness is ok as I'm paranoid that editing on my LCD laptop isn't the best way. Checked against the white/black bar and it seemed ok.

Adjusted in RAW, then NN,Hue/Sat,Image size,added border,USM,curves. Bit of a muddle really, but got there in the end.

A very nicely composed shot with beautiful lines all over. It seems a little too dark overall, but a very nice shot nonetheless.

I like the way you can see the rays of light coming from the street lamps. In my oppinion, that along with the reflection are the most interesting parts of the photo. The part on the left is too dark, and you can't see much detail. You should try to focus on the nice lighting, and see what you can make of it.

This is an interesting picture in that there are 2 different leading lines taking ones eye back to the bridge in the distance. It makes the viewer absorb the whole picture. Good shot.

By the M62? I used to go to cub scout camp here! Cool photo, didn't realise the light from the motorway came out so well, clear sky as well.

You leave me with doubt about what is that interesting form at left side.
