I did use a tri-pod and a wired trigger, I do admit I am not sure what VR is though. I work near downtown and was passing through. It was a picture that I had been wanting to take, and I thought that the night was right for it. This was my first attempt at night photography. I was pretty happy with it. Now if I could do as well on my others. I am not sure if I need to upgrade lenses or if my issues are more on the processing area. I have been trying to figure out what lens to get next.

Not enough sharpness but an interesting cloud formation, indeed.

Too much detail for me in the primary subjects (dock, boy and dog) here to be a true silhouette.

Not very silhouetted, is it? Unless you're talking the trees in the far distance.

Nicely seen. From a processing perspective, I think this would benefit from a slight tilt to the left to level up the horizon, and a bit more contrast towards the darker end of the spectrum.

Cool timing to get the peaking out of the sun.

I think if you lost the posts it would be a better composition
