I am no better than you. I critique to teach myself to see.

Feel free to edit my photos or do anything else that will help me learn.

Sony/Minolta - way more gear than talent.
3 forms of movement in this one, took this last night :-D
1) river flowing past
2) fountain (middle right of scene)
3) fireworks
(plus i was hoping a train would go past- but they probbably stopped them for the fireworks)
"I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves would mean hunters' paradise. But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view."

I used my brothers Nikon D40 with a Tamron 50-200 2.8 Lens. It worked great! I normaly use my E510 with the old Kit lens from my E500. I need a good 2.8 Zoom.
I shot this last night after sunset. I took a six 10 minute exposures to get the stars and moon streaking across the sky. (I should have shot at ISO 200 to get more stars.) I opened all of the images in Photoshop and drug them on top of each other. So I had one document with 6 layers. I changed the blend mode to lighten on all of the layers except for my background layer. This lets the light areas in the photo come through.
I also took a series of 4 photos for the foreground. For these, I used exposures of around 30 seconds and used a large spotlight to light up the FG. I combined these 4 the same way I did for the sky. Then I combined them all into one image. So to create this image, I used 10 separate exposures.

Thank you so much for that MJ I had a feeling it would have been something like that
Maybe I will find the time to try that one day. I haven't even had chance to take Ruffus sight seeing. Must try to get that done today!
