    Awesome reflection !!!

    i like the tone of the buildings, and the bridge going in diagonal, the blown highlights are not that significant , and avoidding them 100% would make the rest of the image too dark, and if recovered may cause noise.

    Killer, as always. You and your night images.

    I'm looking at the building and wondering how you got the details so sharp. Whenever I try this kind of shot, the edge detail is always weird.

    Re: The blown highlights - bracket! And paint in one of the darker exposures where the highlights are later. They don't bother me here, though.

    You have already pointed out the blown highlights, but the reflection is gorgeous. I also like the small amounts of land/moss in the foreground that helps with the perspective of the shot. Now, you're making me want to do night shots.

    Thanks Armando.

    hmm not sure Seth. Nothing in this photo is really close to me. even the moss at the bottom is a bit far away, maybe that's why it's sharp all around?
    Also, I shot this jpeg. loll and hence why i was banging my head ;-) thanks man.

    Greg, it's the perspective of the bridge as it was on an angle and not straight on that's giving it the illusion of tilt i think. thank u!

    Thanks Arne, you should! ;-) Night photography is awesome, love it.
