    Your exposure was right on. I like how non of the lights are too overexposed. The blues are really strong too. Do you have anything close up? The only improvement I see is to get in a bit closer and move the beem a bit further away from the right edge.

    Ditto what everyone else said. How did you get such a rich blue? The exposure is right on, and the colors are amazing. Great job!

    Re: City Lights 9/11

    Thanks a lot guys. I am definitly getting a big print of this one. If I can remember I think this was 15" @F8. Just simple photoshop from there. A little saturation, contrast, and I brought out the shadows a little. This was the time when the sun was completely down but it was not pitch black out yet and the city was still glowing the clouds up.
