Looking roughly east from my apartment balcony, over Victoria Park towards the downtown core of Kitchener, Ontario, at 11:06 PM.
This is my first attempt with the camera to get an evening picture. I picked up the equipment just a couple days ago, with not much prior photography experience.
Pointers for improvement welcome!

The idea was great but the actual shot leaves much to my imagination, which isn't always a bad thing but on this one it is, too much darkness across the bottom, a tighter crop and the lights in the center left could have lead you into the shot to the landscape across the back.
I like the downtown skyline. The nearer houses being mostly obscured by trees, don't work so well for me, and the bright foreground lights draw my eye into the mostly-empty space there, rather than focussing on the more distant buildings/lights, which seem more attractively exposed.
Wish you would have used longer exposure here This could have been beautiful just my opinion I guess you wanted it like this. Its a bit to black for me but the lights looks good . Good luck :)
Very deep shadows - I have calibrated my monitor and IMO this is just too dark with not enough shadow detail. Would like to see one taken at dusk or twilight.
