I don't know what good composition is.... Sometimes for me composition has to do with a certain brightness or a certain coming to restness and other times it has to do with funny mistakes. There's a kind of rightness and wrongness and sometimes I like rightness and sometimes I like wrongness. Diane Arbus

I think the shot is great. If you had to do it again today, what would you change? f/29 seems to work out perfectly for this shot. Looks like you were standing in a pretty risky position though!

Looks like a nice experimental shot. That f29 really brought out the starburst from the light sources.

I think you need to stop down a tad on that one Sean. That Kit Boy isn't so good wide open ;-)a

I was drunk here, wasted is more the word. Stood on a little traffic island, rested the camera on a bollard, Dave knows what i mean, yellow and white light boxes.

Actually talking about the stop is a load of camel dung. The shot might be a load of camel dung, but if it is, it's not because of what stop i used

Cheers for looking

I really like this. Light trails are kind of overdone but in some cases such as these they serve more than just novelty value and work extremely well. Wonderful shot

Thanks fellas, i tell you that old kit lens was a good old lens. Was the only lens i had for six months, a great lens to learn with. I wouldn't do it any differently
