 Wasn't sure if this is actually considered a 'city' shot, but I was just trying not to shoot the same old humdrum night shots of a city lit up, or a building at an unusual angle. This is probably a stretch for urban life, but I feel it fit better than in Rural life. This probably won't score very high, but I am trying different perspectives other than the regular urban shots. I hope some of you do enjoy the shot, as it is from Ft Walton Beach, FL. This stretch is called the Emerald Coast, which is why the water looks green. It is. Good luck to all, and I hope some enjoy this shot, and some reminisce of past times spent on this beach.

aFTER SEEING SOME COMMENTS, i JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THIS SHOT.I know this is not a traditional urban shot, but this beach is considered within a city. Thanks for the comments on the shot.

I don't get a real urban feel here. While I like the waves and the umbrellas, the shot seems a bit overexposed to me as well.

Not really a "urban landscape"?
however, the work on the colors is great!
(the water isn't contrasted enough, for myself)
