I used to have a F-717, got one 15th place shot.
It's a good camera. A tripod, box, , shelf/countertop, or a stack of books for camera support would've helped the long exposure. Then set the camera on timer-mode.

Isn't it sad that a really long exposure, hand held, technically very difficult shot should be so lowly scored. With hindsight, many people would have given you a much higher score - the difficulty level simply does not smack you between the eyes. Well done.

The photo seems a little OoF. Its also hard to tell that the photo fits the challenge. Not a photo I'd hang on my wall. Good luck in this challenge. <4>

Focus is a bit soft and the image a bit grainy

Theme 3/3
Composition 0/2
Technical 0/2
Image Impact 0/3

The image is underexposed and the composition does nothing to provide interest of the subjects.

The red cast does not work well for this image. I think an off center compostion looking up would be much stronger.

The soft focus without some sort of motion doesn't work for me. A little too much noise doesn't help. Good luck!

I think the exposure is way too dark on this!

Too soft, too red, too tight a crop.
