 This was a really fun night of shooting! The sky wasn't near what I was hoping for, (clear) but all the same I got some real nice ones, and had a blast!

Hi from the Critique Club,

First of all, congratulations on your top 20 finish. This image has excellent composition, although I agree with KarenNfld that a bit of the sky could have been cropped out (though not too much, since the negative space serves a useful purpose here). The clouds are beautiful and perfectly exposed, in my opinion; they flow nicely, and take on a great colour from the lights below.

As for the lights below, I'd agree with jaymody that they're a bit overexposed. Considering this challenge called for basic editing, however, I think you did a great job of balancing priorities.

Finally, I have to say that the water was captured perfectly. Great clarity, and beautiful reflections.

Certainly worthy of a top 20 finish. Great shot.

Geoff

I alomst tried this, but my "city" isn't quite big enough, lol. Nice reflections in the water and the clouds.

I guess a little overexposed, due to which the lights are a little bright... A little less shutter speed would have been nice...

St. John's!!

A classic photo of the harbour. I might have cropped out some of the sky, there's nothing in it and it really doesn't add much to the photo.
