This is simply a stunning nightime photo. The focus is excellent as is the color and the lighting.

I sat here and tried to find something I would change about the photo but honestly there isn't a thing. I would however love to see other angles of this if you have them.

Simply fantastic Gary!

Almost forgot yes, it also does fit the challenge.

I was out shooting night shots for this challenge too. I didn't end up with a shot I liked well enough to enter the challenge. This is beautiful 10

The light here is perfect, good choice to take this pic at night... and it has to be taken in the middle of the night because the building is empty! the perspective and the focus are just pefect.

Good luck in the challenge!

Great lighting, the dark background makes the buildings spring out in a majestic way. Almost no blowouts, they are so easy to get with all these different lights around buildings.
I don't like how the left is cut off, but keystoning and other distortion problems aren't visible = good. Outside dpc I'd clone the red info sign out of the lower left window.

i love night shots and this one is lovely. nice contrast with the black and yellow. shutter could've been a tad faster maybe.
