Last week I went again to Luxembourg-City to take some nightshots.
This is the administrative building of the 'Banque et Caisse d'Epargne de l'Etat'.
The colored lights in the front are from a passing bus, the yellow intermittant light is from his blinking turning light.

I only did some tilting so that the horizon is about level...

Any thoughts, critics, etc, welcome...

I like how the vehicle lights come so high into the frame. That's a great effect. My main suggestion would be to walk up to the corner or the pedestrian barrier next time so it's not in your shot.

Nice, but need a little different angle. Either from the corner or closer to the street, to get the barrier and dead dirt space out of the lower right hand corner.

Thanks, Glad you liked it.

You're right for the top left light. I tried different angles where the light wasn't in the picture, but I got too much lens flare. And as I left the hood at home... Thanks for the comment

GPR1, cmar :
The barrier disturbs, you're right. unfortunately I only had a table-top tripod which I could only put on the wall, but not on the barrier. Next time will be better... My new Manfrotto/Bogen 055PROB/3021PROB arrived this weekend :D , so I'm not limited to walls to put my tripod on... Thanks for the comment
