Greetings from Critique Club...

FIRST iMPRESSION... If I were casually looking through the images in this week's challenge, I may have passed this one. It misses having a strong subject that captures the viewer's attention. Criiquing the image though, I see that there are aspects of the image which are well done.. such as lighting and image quality...

COMPOSITION... I find the composition a little busy, with no strong dominant subject or focus. My eye keeps scanning the image, looking for something to settle on. Perhaps choosing an angle where the road sign or the fountain was more dominant could have helped in this area. The light coming out of nowhere from the top right corner was also a little distracting, and could be cropped out. Actually cropping out most of the sky seems kind of interesting... It lets the viewer focus more on the cityscape and lights. I know it can't be helped, but the foreground looks a little cluttered by the unecessary elements (that green object, and round white bump)

TECHNIQUE... This is an extremely well lighted night scene, and the flare and halos eminating from the light sources are what I find make up the appealing aspects of the image. Very vivid colors. I would expect to see a noisy image given similar conditions.

CONCLUSION... A very well lit scene due to the different colors of lights, with a nice fountain that just screams to have it be the main subject of the photo... or the secondary one of course, since you need a road sign in there naturally :) A pretty good night scene overall, just needs a stronger subject.

the sign does not seem to be the main focus of the picture. I keep focusing on the fountain

Nice round about scene. Very effective colours and flairs. jgillard9

I like the details, nice picture.

I think I would have scored this higher if you had got closer to a sign, so that it took up more of the frame.

Good exposure on the lights. I like the fountain. A little cluttered, but very nice - Inspzil

Unfortunately none of the signs really grab my attention. The fountain is too nice and the leftmost streetlight too stunning - I keep looking at them. I might have tried to crop out the flare in the top right corner of the image, but it's not a big problem. Exposure is good and focus is very strong for a long exposure like this.

What if they keep circling the fountain, do you keep yielding to them? Nice fountain and nice night photo. The street light are really good. Love the red bushes at the bottom of the photo. Real nice photo. Worth an 8

Great job of controlling exposure. Also great depth of field, and mix of colors. (In my opinion)

Nice night shot! Very good color, exposure length seems just right. I think I might have preferred a crop that had the sign and the fountain, but if you like the street lights....they are nice, just not needed (IMO) here. 7 Swash
