Just bought a tripod yesterday so I'd thought I'd give some long exposures a go tonight. Here are 2 I took around the Admiralty/Central area of Hong Kong. Would appreciate some honest C&C. Thanks!

3 major buildings (L to R: Bank of China building, Cheung Kong Center and HSBC Building) in Central.

i like the first one. the light is over exposed and draws too much attention in the second one.

oh wow! these are spectacular... its hard to come up with an origianl idea and unique POV with a city night shot, but you sure did. I cant wait to see what you do on your second try with the new tripod!

You mean the street lamps draw too much attention or the photo as a whole (being overexposed) draws too much attention? Also do you think the processing might have exacerbated the issue?
