    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    i like the pattern of the lights. wish the picture was more centered. the person walking with the girl on his shoulders is distracting as well as the power lines. sky color is great.

    Re: Evening Silhouette

    I just opened this, I see a big street lamp vs the sky, hmm..
    as I scrolled down and see the perfectly aligned lamps I said
    Whoa! nice!

    I did not noticed the person on the street until mentioned by mikon

    the pattern works very well in my opinion

    Thanks Mikonxx, and Armando, I think I might have another go at this but with a more dramatic sky or closer view of lamps perhaps .

    Re: Evening Silhouette

    I love the pic. I too didn't notice the people until it was pointed out. They almost blend into the darkness. Would be an awesome idea, really late at night with no traffic, set up a tripod and snap away.

    All opinions expressed by this person are purely that, opinions which means she doesn't actually know anything about photography.

    I'm blind, I can't see the people...me or my monitor. Anyway I'd kill the lights on the cars and street detail, so as to bask in the reverence of such a great silhouette.

    The man and the girl don't bother me near as much as the car with that scratch on the bumper, LOL. If you do a re shoot IMO the power lines need to stay. I tried a crop without them and it just doesn't work with the light poles by themselves, Jeff
