Was just looking at this image on your website a few minutes ago !, really like the effect that the mixture of lighting types have left on the image, very striking.

My word...Les , thats....colourfull.:lol:
Love the way you shot it before dark and kept the brightness in the sky.

I hope you can see the 3 dust spots at the top right?;)

100-400 eh?

PS: Thats a very impressive building there Les.

Beautiful shot Les, Dimitri is such a joker! ;) But seriously, there is a spot in the upper LEFT corner (Dimitri, that's your other right hand ;) ) Other than that, it's absolutely gorgeous!

The only thing that picture is missing is a little snow. It looks very Christmas-like. http://bestsmileys.com/christmas2/1.gif

Great shot Les. I'm a big fan of the light trails and the last bit of light touching the main structure. It's a very vibrant shot with a lot of life from the traffic, the cyclist and the few lights on in the apartments. You can imagine families sitting down for dinner after a long day of work. Very nice.

Does the main tower(?) usually have the spiky bits on it? It looks a bit strange without them. Just curious.

I love York - I've visited several times and love the history there. Super photo and I agree, great colours.

Don't get me wrong - it's a great shot. But I really would have liked it a little underexposed, even though some shadow detail would have been lost. I think it would look more natural. Just personal preference, Les. :)
