    Great Herriot! I like this alot. I think the comp is really well balanced in this tough position to shoot and there would be no way of "lining things up" here. Colors are great, subject very strong, and your framing and execution nailed it well. Holga? It looks soft to me, but that does not hurt this too much because of the subject . . .it seems to be flattered by the soft focus.
    Dreamy fantasy-like scene.
    Good spotting and well done

    A good catch. Somehow it does look a bit soft.

    Thanks for your comments. Agreed completely that this looks soft and I should point out now that it isn't a Holga shot, I thought a lot before posting this but am glad that you felt that this actually complemented the shot in this instance, it is quite unusual to see such lights on these buildings and there was something dream-like about it that made me reach for the camera..

    Am attaching the original for your reference here

    I love the colors. It looks to me like you lightened your crop a bit making the colors weaker.

    I like strong colors.
    No, I DON'T need that.
