The degree of brightness in a night shot is unnatural. I think a mysterious darkness, achived with less exposure or a curves adjustment would make this an outstanding picture.

Well - there are a number of obvious 'faults' here - at least things that I see as 'wrong' without seeing a good reason for them. The image appears to have been adjusted to be vertical according to the furthest lampost, but that leaves the entirety of the building and all the (larger) lampposts seeming tilted. There's a simple perspecive correction required if you want everything t be vertical/horizontal. I know there's a tram there because your title tells me so, but it would require some careful looking to find it without that, and otherwise it seems a weirdly tilted image of a buildng at night, with a couple of light trails. The brightnedd of the building's lights means that any trails from the tram's windows as it has passed have failed to register.

It was a good idea, I think: outside of the run-of-the-mill obvious approach taken by most, and a effective use of the challenge stipulations, but badly let down, I fear, by the image's problems. 4

As you've PM'd me asking me to look again at the image, here I am. I think I confused the cross-wires at the end of the road with the suggestion of a partly exposed tram - that and the very odd light-trail so high up the image, and your title. I still absolutely think you were wrong not to adjust the tilt of the shot, I still see no point to it; it adds an unconfortability to the image that it doesn't deserve. Still a 4

good concept

be careful of your verticals... this looks like it is sloping to the right.

Interetgin subject and I like the long exposure. The nearest street light detracts from the overall effect, though.

excelent picture! good exposure. maybe rotating the building so that its straight would have helped.

Good but your leading the eye into nothing
