Very nice!!

very nice night shot, nice detail in the shadows

only wish the sky had some blue in it

Thanks Jen and Armando. It is somewhat monotone in that the sky is the same overall color as the city. I think if I had shot about 15-45 minutes after sunset, I might have gotten a little blue. Next time.

I really like the exposure and sharpness, as well as the glimpse of the stadium lights in the background. But overall the pic suffers from lots of dark rooftops and in the immediate foreground and nothing distinguishable in the skyline itself (though you obviously don't have much to say choice over either).

Thanks DR. Well put! Though the background buildings are well lit, impressionable landmarks like Petco Park and the Coronado bridge aren't distinguishable enough. They're being blocked by all the other buildings it seems. I like that big foreground building but like you said it is just too dark to make an impression. Alas, just a bunch of pretty lights
