Very nice donny, i like the sharpness of this and the reflections are nice and soft. one thing though, what's the big circle above? lens flare? u might wanna try and clone that one out.

Good composition,lots of light.I love the whispering bokeh of the water...a very nice effect of the 30 second exposure.

Maybe I'm nitpicking...In my opinion... as sharp as this is - the longer shutter capture is effected by atmospherics...sharpness degrades.I feel it could be improved.

May I suggest a reduced shutter speed, use the wonderful hi iso capabilites of your camera for even more sharpness / detail, less bleed out of the neon lights,this also will drastically reduce any lens flare.
Just my thoughts,I'm here to learn.

Good technique. Pretty sharp, though there seems to be a bit of flair at the top?

I think shots like this need a twist, though. Something in the foreground (or ?), or perhaps a wide angle lens to tell more of a story and increase one's viewpoint.

Generally, I like this a lot.

The more I look the more distracting the lights on top of the buildings on the left become. Other than that....sweeeeeet!
