    Downtown Nashville at night.

    The "batman" building from an alley. Loose the cars, or is this just a waste of time?

    Re: Downtown Nashville at night.

    Nice clear, sharp image, DOF, with the moon, perspective is good, framing, etc., but I just can't get past the solid wall at the end of the alley. Lose the wall and I think you have something.

    Payn

    Now if the alley was dark then the wall wouldn't bother me or the cars, but it seems a little bright to have the wall, it just seems to stop the eyes there and its a hurdle to get past it.

    As for the rest it looks good except for the spot above the moon, is it a plane, planet or dust?

    Re: Downtown Nashville at night.

    Thanks for the feedback on this. The spot above the moon is a planet/star. I agree with the wall back there, but was hoping there was enough depth to overcome it, owell (i could always burn it down, i guess).

    This photo is 2 sexy. The only thing it needs is a beautiful model in the center.

    Re: Downtown Nashville at night.

    I like it, and I don't think I would lose the cars. When I first saw it,
    I thought of glitz being brought down to reality--big city lights contrasted
    with the fact that people have to park somewhere. With that in mind, I
    thought the wall was quite effective, although, perhaps it could be a little
    less bright.

    I would crop out up to the parking lot wall and the building wall on the right hand side.

    Re: Downtown Nashville at night.

    The wall doesn't bother me as much as the hot light to the right. I always try to avoid those when shooting at night but sometimes you just can't. The top part of this scene without that light could've been spectacular. It's still a nice image though. thanks for sharing.
