    Sure but not from there

    Very clean and simple shot with no distractions. Nice color as well.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Always only one vacancy.
    Good night time atmosphere.

    I don't want to stick my foot in my mouth... Is this an impressionist type of photo? No offense but it looks like you inserted the trees/bushes. I'm no expert. If you did insert them, I'd say your selection skills need a little work. Don't take offense though. I'm new here.

    I think you inserted the bushes becasue of those highlights at the top of them on the right. Looks a little strange. It could be coming from a light source outside of the photo.

    Thank you for your comments and critique.

    Bushes not inserted. Highlights from existing ambient light. Another post had mentioned the same thing for this photo - a sense of discomfort with the bushes. I'm uncertain why - maybe because they were slightly moving in areas due to the breeze? This was shot at 1/15 or 1/8 shutter, handheld.

    Hi Tuna,
    I am attracted by the various colour of this photo: neon orange, fluorescent white and twilight blue. The combination is not exactly in harmony but has a very interesting effect.

    Tuna,

    The colors came out very well. They add a lot of mood. I can easily figure out why you didn't went b&w for this one...

    Could not think of the word to describe this mood earlier but "Seedy" is the one.

    Tom hit it on the head. This shouts "No tell motel". I like the atmosphere of this shot. What other settings did you use, Tuna?
