Great shots. With the second I find the lights at the bottom a bit distracting so I'd either crop them out or reduce their intesity in Photoshop

The second is great. The 20D seems to be a great camera for low-light pictures.

Both are super shots. The night shot has more oomph! :-)

The 2nd shot is really nice. I do agree that cropping the lower lights would improve the shot. It is still a great shot! Good job.

Yes, I just simulated cropping the bottom portion of the pictures and i think it really improved them. Try cropping the portion from the bottom of the shot up to the end of the darker area in picture #2, then do the same for #1. I think you'll like it.

#2 was definately my vaforite here.

I agree with cropping the bottom of this shot. I also like the second one best.
